alf5071h,
Yes, I understand about the human factors, but I was just commenting on the nightmarish combination of conditions from the previous post. I would have hoped that while on approach and with things apparently going to hell in a handbasket, someone in the cockpit would have said "Er, let's go around and think about this a bit more".
Regarding your comment about the continuation of the approach being justifiable. I would concede that would be possible, but only if a factor unknown to the flight crew led to the overrun.
If, given the information they had available, a safe landing wasn't reasonably certain, then surely it wasn't justifiable?
As SLF, I'm just an interested observer, but I'm concerned about your view of the scenario where the stress factors and workload lead to an incorrect decision. I'd far rather that situation was avoided in the first place.
