The BEA issued a bulletin : aircraft touched down after half of the down sloped part of the runway (*) and despite "energetic" braking by pilot could not stop before end runway. 4 injured (light) and major damage on aircraft .
(*) my note : means around 200m left and going 18% . No chance , but to be fair it had passed as well since long the no-go around point. Going around would have been far worse.
Makes me wonder if the pilot was really qualified to land there. There will be an full Annex13-type report later.
