23R is a very slippery runway and further it dips away from you in the flare encouraging a deep landing. How do I know? been there many times and was there the morning this incident happened. None of us knew what went on...airport closed...we all waited around...then they released us 40 mins later. Didnt even know it was a turkish machine. When we went to taxi for 23L aircraft had been towed already away.

we also encounterd bad turbulence over the hedge due proximity of trees.....next time winds are from the north i am requesting 23L as it wont be as shear laden.
