?investigating authority? NOT ntsb??

"... enough factors for the NTSB ..."
Is this an NTSB investigation?

Re' factors, the 8000' Rwy sounds sufficient at first thought. But when I grab a B737 manual for REQ'd Rwy length [with the tailwind increments (+1500 feet)], seems there's not much room for err.

Their pilot's association released a statement that aluded to a long DUTY DAY prior to late night approach, with TRW near airport.

??? ANY CONFIRMATION on the pilots' time on-duty prior to landing????
?Was it 12 HOURS since they went to work??
