Well, that's - entertaining! The Truk Stop (not truck - Truk is the former name of Chuuk) is a hotel, and it and the dock are close together
south of the approach end to rwy 4.

But if the aircraft was still airborne - and they
were visible off the left or port side, the plane had already missed the airport altogether - an overshoot of 22, not an overrun.
Unless one assumes Mr. Jaynes got his left and right confused in the heat of the moment.
