Ok, I just looked at the airport on google earth and found that all RWY ends are connected with taxiways, not so the displaced thresholds. These are not taken into account when calculating landing distance, but maybe used for takeoff performance as stopway/clearway.
I do keep up my opinion that mere luck kept this from turning into an accident. It is definetley an incident. The aircraft overshot LDA, assumably in bad weather.
So I am interested in wether it happened due to a long landing, hydroplaning, ungrooved RWY,... And I would like to know what kind of information the airport passed on to the crew during approach.
