Seems to be a reasonable amount of manouvering just prior to touch down. Also it's not totally clear but it looks like the runway "piano keys" flash past just prior to touch down. Was this a short landing? May explain why the vegetation is so tall and close to the edge at the start of the runway but not further along it where landing run would "normally" commence?

Speculation on my part I admit but I'm amazed that such an "obstacle" can be struck. How long is Mogadishu? Can't be that limiting if it can take a 340 high temps frequent?
