Avogrado good point I was just about to raise it before I saw your post.
Judge11 I think you are judging our "less developped aviation" too quickly. Mistakes of not going around have nothing to do with whatever area of the world you're flying. Did American airlines 737 go around in Kingston? Did Air France A 340 go around in Toronto? No. They were flown by supposedly very experienced pilots from the more developped world, some ex army guys, some from a very reputed school called ENAC. Still, they broke both planes, which were then written off. (Senegal Airlines did not damage theirs). There were nevertheless similarities in these crashes; bad weather, heavy rainfall or snowfall, therefore contaminated runway, but also touchdown way beyond TDZ, reversers not deployed sufficiently fast enough, etc.
