Absolutely agree as I keep trying to say. These conditions are very common for landings at DPS and this is the first time an aircraft has landed short. There was NO TS activity in the vicinity. NOT microburst/Windshear conditions at all. TOGA weather yes, if at MDA but NOT, as you put it "Dropping out of the sky at TOGA thrust weather" I think PJ2 might be onto something.
I'm not quite sure but it appears on some of the pictures that the slats are in landing configuration (I am not aware of any pictures that show the flaps configuration) and, according to earlier reports and pictures, the gear was torn off on the reef. How can that be ?
