One thing I've noticed, is that many airline pilots from all countries and both major and minor airlines don't unerstand landing distance performance and requirements.
As for this particular overrun.....there is no doubt their decision making was shot, but why was it shot? Did they not appreciate the current conditions (ie lost S.A. ) or did they have such poor knowledge that they thought flap 30 and a deep touchdown might work?
