Private jet in crash that killed Bin Laden relatives came in too fast, report finds
A private jet that crashed, killing three members of Osama bin Laden’s family, landed too far down the runway because it was travelling 40% faster than the recommended speed, accident investigators concluded. The Saudi-registered Phenom 300 jet smashed into an earth bank at the end of the runway at Blackbushe airport, Camberley, on the border of Hampshire and Surrey, on 31 July last year before becoming airborne again and colliding with several parked cars.

Interesting read, thanks for finding it.
Agree. Thanks.
The report stated: “It is possible that in these circumstances the pilot … fixated on his initial strategy – landing – and lacked the mental capacity to recognize that the approach had become unstable and should be discontinued.”
He recognized it. Hence the attempt to deploy speedbreaks on short final. He forced it to the ground with a panel and windshield so full of red flags he couldn't see any more. Going into a 3500' runway there was even less tolerance of deviation. What unannounced and unknown factor made him push such a bad situation?

maybe he was being controlled remotely
More like he wasn't remotely in control.
