Landing at TGU requires strict attention to runway conditions and tailwinds. All of these were ignored landing downwind on a 5400 ft runway with a cliff on the end wet with a 10 knot tailwind. It probably doesn't matter much if coming out of reverse at 70 knots finished the accident because it probably was going to happen anyway.
