What gets me it looks like over running has lead the airplane to crash off an elevated runway end
I've so far restrained myself from commenting on this accident, because I really don't have any facts to venture a credible opinion (and I'm not a commercial pilot to boot, just lowly PPL) - but the above comment just beggars the imagination - please read the thread - there's lots of evidence it ran off the runway before the end. Not saying of course that things might not have been different if the ground had been graded between the runways because there's no doubt things might have been less severe - but speculation aside I think we can all agree running off the end of the runway is not a cause.
