The Munich Air Disaster.

Hi all,
watching the video program "Air Disaster" on National Geo channel, I came across this Title story.
Even if I remembered that accident, I didn't know many details of it, and I was impressed by the Captain Thain fight against the enquire commission which put the entire blame on him.
He made a lot of researches on the probable causes of his accident and discovered that about ten years earlier there was a similar accident (with no casualties) in Vancouver, Canada. It was a North Star airliner operated by Trans Canada Airlines which overshoot the runway "due to slush" on it, as found by the Canadian Commission later.
This was the initial source, ever, for this phenomenon.
I made a lot of researches for that commission's report, just for historical knowledge on this matter, but I didn't success at all.
​​​My question now: has anybody any reference to that document?
Thank you all in advance.
