Runway conditions

It's pretty safe to say the runway was wet. And if they landed in heavy rain or after it had rained heavily, there would have been significant amounts of standing water on that non-grooved runway. And the chart even tells you that!

Throw in a potentially long-landing that was maybe a bit fast, and I don't think it's hard to image at all going off the end if there was any type of hydroplaning occurring.
