My personal view is that any attempt to analyse this within the 'normal' accident system is a total waste of time. Runway over-run distances 'available' etc are, in my opinion, irrelevant. As FC and others have said, the problem lies elsewhere. NB this is not an attempt to second guess the enquiry, but to me, unless the P1 had a 'mental' problem at some stage, we seem to have the classic 'overload and shutdown' symptoms. Why is another matter. Positive action by the F/O would have saved the day but possibly messed his career?

Lessons to be learned, I hope.
