Puddle? Looks like a nice swimming hole. . . If it wasn't on an
active runway!

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a link:

They beat you to it. They are doing a total renovation, including replacing
the runway next year.

Jerry sounds as if he's been in and out of that runway a number of times

and knows whereof he speaks. True?

Sorry, I disagree...
It should not be closed, it should be repaired.. Repaved, or whatever it takes.

Too many small airports are falling prey to the housing developers... Leaving fewer and fewer places from which to fly.

If you zoom in enough, you can see where they painted AROUND the puddle - obviously a reoccurring problem. I don't know the required criteria, but it seems like there should have at least been a notam?

There is an elephant in the room that no one sees... pilot error.

FAA regs put the onus on the pilot to know ABSOLUTELY EVERYthing about the flight we are about to take.

Do we do it... NO, and we are all guilty of it and 99% of the time we get away with it.

The puddle didn't jump out and attack Sam.

Not to cast aspersions, but from where did the takeoff roll begin?

Ok.... Pure conjecture, as I wasn't there...

Pilot had to either back taxi past it, or thru it

 or 

take off from the reciprocal, in order to experience it's power to alter the path of the aircraft.

If the latter, he should have been airborne, long before the puddle became a factor.

Either of which,  in conjecture,  points towards the elephant...

The runway is in seriously bad shape and there was no NOTAM. That's an error, but it isn't pilot error.

If this happened landing on Farmer Brown's dirt track, or at some sailplane port -- OK, Pilot error. Otherwise, I disagree.
