Short and to the point?

First time I've seen this comment from the Phuket Gazette:

"At a press conference at the Airports Of Thailand office about 9 pm, Phuket Airport Director Sq Ldr Pornchai Eua-aree said the crash was the result of a “mis-approach” landing, after which the pilot tried to regain enough speed to take off again – but failed."

They later said all ATC's had been assigned desk duty as they all saw the crash and were very distressed.
