Sorry Buddy but where did you get that info from?
The official Investigation-Report (Intermediate-Edition) states that the Crew was warned minutes before Landing that the Brake-Action decreased compared to the last Test (Which was about One hour before the Accident) and that also the visibility was getting worse (Below 1KM).
It's hard to say it this way in a pilots-forum, but I have to:
This was a pilots-error!
The guys landed slightly below MLW on a RWY in bad Weather-Condition, the touchdown was too late (For this WX) and they overran the RWY - Full Stop!
There is no reason why an airport-authority would/should pay any kind of compensation!
