tailwind, wet runway, night, local terrain to west and south, construction work on the LHS which includes drainage works... and it is a B738, carrying a load and with presumably divert gas. It appears to have gone off the side, not the end, so control/aquaplaning are all on the cards. Runway not grooved/PFC. rainy season comes with risks, this is hardly the first jet off a runway in the wet, wager it won't be the last.
