RWA,
There is a fairly extensive discussion about selection of some causes over others between myself and TopBunk and Dani on 19.08. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to look over what was said there? I'm happy to discuss causes and selection of "primary" causes when we are working on some level of common understanding.
Note, for example, that had the runway been, say, 3km long, there would have been no overrun. That means that the relatively short length of the runway was a causal factor in the accident. You need therefore to tell me why and how you prioritise not reducing thrust (as a factor) over the length of the runway (as a factor).
