Flaps 30, carrying excess speed for the wind conditions plus a bit more for grandma (my guess would be 160kts). Slightly high, excessive float, deep touchdown and off the end she sails.

Edit: A320LGW - the wind was from 270 and they landed on 24 right? That would be a headwind with a fairly hefty (but not illegal) crosswind component.
From Avherald:

"According to Mode-S data transmitted by the aircraft the aircraft overran the end of the runway at about 63 knots over ground veering slightly to the left, probably hit the localizer antenna runway 06, went over an airport road and impacted the airport perimeter wall."

Hence my comment, it's quite shocking really, i do hope I/Avherald is wrong though ...
