Slight thread drift, since it has already been clearly established that this was an undershoot accident, but there was a 09 overrun accident in Dec 1984. A Garuda DC-9 landed 20 kts too fast, 1800 m down the runway (2700 m in those days). Not surprisingly, it ran off the end and broke into three pieces and caught fire. Amazingly everyone survived.

I drove past the site the next day. It was in the mangrove swamp about half-way between the 27 threshold and the Nusa Dua road. A thriving restaurant village had sprung up overnight, to cater to the hordes of curious sight-seers.
