This accident appears to have some similarities to the US Bangla crash in Kathmandu a couple years ago. A Captain seems to get tunnel vision, is determined to get on the runway, and ignores multiple aircraft warning systems including a gear unsafe warning, eventually driving the aircraft onto the runway in no position to make a normal landing. In the US Bangla crash the Captain also ignored the First Officers commands to go around. Perhaps the same in this one too, to be determined once the voice recorder is recovered.
