I can remember Nigerian A/W putting three F-27's off the end of the runway at Enugu in 4 days - similar reasons
One of the prices you pay if you fly in that part of the world - and the roads and ferries are much much worse
Forty years ago, nobody knew better, nowadays we do. They can do better, but choose not to. Can't say a thing about ferries, but don't see the link. We know how to safely operate a 737, even in horrendous weather and no reason they shouldn't either.
The video clearly shows a touchdown far beyond the TD zone, which should have resulted in a go around.
No weather can be blamed for pressing on and causing this incident. And for that, most of not all runway excursions they had last decade.
