What is the difference between the last three hundred feet of the runway closed due to runway maintenance or a disabled aircraft?

Check the charts and if you can land safely, do, if not, don't.
If you can't stop in time for whatever reason, the latter will end a lot messier especially if people are on board the disabled aircraft.
