According to press reports, the aircraft overshot the turn from base onto final to RWY 18R by 1.8km and hit the hill. Press says aircraft originally approaching RWY 36L then 'circled' for landing RWY 18R but, given the wind, why was RWY 36 ever considered

What is the approach to 18R? Is it an ILS to RWY 36L and then visual circuit to land 18R? That would explain press report but am I wrong to assume that the press go anything right in the first place.

Would welcome comment by someone who knows the place.
