The main runway at Congonhas was re-opened on Friday after being inspected by Brazil's new Defence Minister, Nelson Jobim.

As always there are will be many contributing factors to this crash but from early Airbus communication it seems pretty evident that the crew managed to put themselves in an inextricable situation
Now was it negligence, distraction, ignorance or gross incompetence is another story...
This runaway is perfectly safe to operate but unforgiving to mistakes. It will take some major engineering work to change that, if at all possible...
