Perhaps engine stopped normal operation at 9,500ft and things progressed from there.

Close enough for an early report from many 000's of kms away.

As for overshoot or undershoot, that depends on the runway and which way the aircraft is facing in the end.

If you overshoot runway 18 (for example) and flip upside down as this guy did, then it looks like you undershot runway 36 :-)

Interestingly this is the second aircraft in very recent time (the SR22 on Hamo) to have landed short in a partial power with subsequent failure scenario. A timely reminder to rethink your emergency engine failure scenarios and procedures as the Cirrus incident could have ended differently in anticipation of the full failure. Can't comment on the Van as he may have been doing the Gimli glider thing.
