On the ref'd comments on airport design, I would just like to let you know that LEMD follows the recomendations of ICAO Annex 14.
As forget's picture shows, there is a large FLAT area (actually 4350x300m) surrounding both runways, which is over the recomendation.
Te actual location of the crash can be seen here.

I am no airport design expert, but I now a flat area 4350x300m is a lot bigger AND wider than a lot of other airfields. It would have been better to have it 2000m wide as suggested, but in no way can it be said that LEMD is unsafe because of this: safety criteria is based on international recomendations, (which may or may not have to be amended a s aresult of this accident)
Do I need to remind you of the hundreds of international airports wtih a lot of bigger hazards surrounding the runway?
By the way: no, I am not connected in any way to that airport, other than as a user.
