This was a very slow speed upwind excursion where 10-15 feet of level wet grass would have stopped the jet. Unfortunately that was not the lie of the land.
Wish more runways had crushed concrete arresting pads at the end. Can't be that expensive? I remember Chicago-Midway added some after spilling a plane onto a highway.
