If you have a look at Google Maps, you'll see that the ILS localiser antenna (for 33 I presume) is pretty close to the perimeter fence.

From memory, I think that the fence is on lower ground than the runway itself, but if they hit the antenna they must have been very close to coming down outside the fence.

This could have ended up so much worse, let's hope that they both recover quickly.
