THE ACFT WAS LANDED ON A CLOSED RWY WHERE IT COLLIDED WITH STEEL POSTS EMBEDDED IN THE RWY. THE PLT HAD QUESTIONED A CESSNA PLT WHO MADE A GO-AROUND IN FRONT OF HIM ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE RWY AND WAD ADVISED IT WAS CLOSED. THE PLT SAW THE FLAG & AN 'X' BUT LANDED OVER THEM AND COLLIDED WITH THE POSTS.
