What on earth has the BY 757 crash at GRO got to do with SEN?

The 757 was attempting to land at night in one of the regions worst TS that summer, a wind change caused a miss APP so they then used the other end, where a simultaneous power failure took out the runway lights just before TD.
The approach and final became unstable and the 757 landed hard, bounced causing structural damage which caused multiple failures - one of which was an uncommanded increase in thrust.
The 757 then completely out of control left the runway.....


Please explain why SEN's runway has any credence to this accident ..........?
