Still was.

Commentary was not reassuring either.

OUCH !!! Looks like the short narrow runway syndrome as the windsock shows only a light crosswind. That would have been costly………..

Thanks Chad. Details did seem to be rather sketchy.

I believe the incident report states “prop strike” rather than nose over which may or may not mean the same thing. Hopefully it was a minor thing either way.
