Tyre marks on the grass at end of 16
A/c returned with an antenna lodged....Localiser antenna that sits (usually) about 6ft off the ground!
A/c took out some of the rabbits (strobes)
A/c missed roof of small building by 4 inches
A/c 100 feet approx before end of runway - struck 3 times before rotation with NO runway left to spare.

The words of someone investigating....

"The worst incident without loss of life in this country to date"

Disclaimer;
These are not my personal views or opinions rather 2nd hand info from reliable sources - this is a Rumour network after all


Cheers
