Analysis
The plt was #2 behind another acft. He reported that he was so intent on the acft ahead (taxiing off the rwy) that he had decided to go around. He then changed his mind & decided to land instead. The acft touched down short of the rwy. He reported that during touchdown, the right main gear hit an irrigation pipe & failed. After touching down, the acft began veering right & the left main gear also failed.
