NTSB: Citation Latitude Bounced Twice before Overrun
The twinjet that crashed on August 14 in Tennessee bounced twice on landing and collapsed the right main landing gear on the third touchdown.

The Cessna Citation Latitude carrying retired race car driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., his wife, and infant daughter bounced twice on landing and collapsed the right main landing gear on the third touchdown preceding its runway excursion and post-crash fire, according to the NTSB preliminary report on the August 15 accident. It then went off the departure end of Runway 24 at Tennessee’s Elizabethton Municipal Airport, traveled across an open area of grass, down an embankment, through a chain-link fence, and up an embankment before coming to a stop on the edge of a highway.
