Read the full NTSB narrative
AFTER A HIGH & FAST APCH, ACFT TOUCHED DOWN BEYOND MIDFIELD ON RWY 36 AT DCA. PLT DELAYED INITIATING A GO AROUND UNTIL HE WAS SURE THE ACFT WOULD NOT STOP IN THE RWY REMAINING. ON INITIAL CLIMB THE ACFT STRUCK TWO APCH LIGHTS AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY, DAMAGING THE LEFT MAIN GEAR WHICH COLLAPSED ON THE ENSUING LANDING. INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED THE ACFT WAS VECTORED TO A 4 MILE RT BASE AT 2500 FT. THE PLT LATER STATED HE CONTINUED THE APCH BECAUSE HE WANTED TO COOPERATE SINCE THE ARPT WAS 'SO BUSY AND IT CAN CAUSE DELAYS FOR AIR CARRIER JETS IF A GENERAL AVIATION PLANE HAS TO GO AROUND.'
