You might get a better appreciation by looking at AVHerald.com

The operator made no mention of a mechanical issue ~ simply skidded off the runway during heavy rain.
There are other remarks made by other commentators which include landing in tropical storm NURI, windshear, flooded runway etc.

The human factors involved will hopefully be dissected in the accident report, including the training regime.
The PF/PM (crew) protocols started to fail at the moment the refuelling decision was taken.

To quote a phrase said to me by an old hand many moons ago:
”if you think training is expensive, wait until you have an accident”
