Maybe so. But you cannot be certain just yet.

But there’s been no mention of damage to airport or even of paint scrapes on the rocks.

To date all inferences have been drawn by one passenger stating that he saw the Truk Stop Hotel out of the port side of the aircraft. I also read another account (perhaps from that same pax) stating that it was not raining at the time.
Meanwhile, the airline still has not corrected its assertion that it landed short of the runway.
