Just your usual bad landing, it seems.
The pilot had requested 21 instead of the operational 03 at the time (where MAP's MD83 tookoff clean last year and nearly crashed). Little variable wind. He came in high (there is elevated terrain on that approach) but didn't go around (a very common happening on that situation in this runaway). So he gained speed when he "forced it down".
He hit about the half mark in the runaway.
The airplane had the wheels changed (maybe just for the investigation) and departs tonight, so I guess indeed no damage.
