Landing Rwy 25, in heavy rain, was told vis was down to 800m. Based on the marks, they went of the runway almost after touchdown towards the right side of the rwy. Got bogged down in mud, nose wheel broken and angled backwards. That could have been due to the mud, but heard they could have landed on the nose first( not very likely as A320 comes in at a higher AoA) but thats just a rumour at the moment. Not much details other than that, AA has good PR with the media, doubt we will hear any more from them.
