Lion Air overrun Sepinggan

I was on a Garuda flight that landed 15 minutes before the Lion Air flight. Runway was wet from previous showers but there was no rain at that time, visibility was good. Wind was the usual sea breeze crosswind but nothing unusual. After collecting my bags I noticed a very light sprinkle of rain walking to the car, which would have been about the time of the incident. I live near the airport and as I drove home 10 minutes later I saw the 737 at the very end of the runway with no other vehicles around at that time. There was no heavy rain till after 8 am.
