XL5 has hit the nail on the head - this accident has been charitably described to me by some of my American (nationality, not airline) colleagues as a 'CRM clusterf****, although be it also noted the NTSB specifically cited fatigue as a contributary, IIRC.
The overrun safety zone wasn't the standard prescribed by current regs, but it *was* perfectly legal as it was 'grandfathered'. I don't understand how the jury was guided to this verdict.
