Why not have "scenario" threads, where a simulated accident is announced and pilots can guess the cause. After a couple of days we could publish the solution and pilots can see how well they did. ANY discussion about an accident that can get one single pilot to realise his errors has to be valuable.
Moderators, how about giving this a try?
Don't they already do that over on the FLYER forum?
I find discussing real incidents far more valuable though, as it really shows how even very experienced pilots can have a lapse in concentration, or complacency or whatever it is, and we must all look for it in our own flying lest we are the next one being discussed.
The displaced threshold may well have played it's part in this particular incident. It can completely alter the approach aspect, perhaps if the sun was in his eyes he would not have seen the arrows painted on the runway, perhaps it was his first visit, or perhaps he had flown there so many times he was complacent of the displaced threshold. It's easy to ignore a displaced threshold if you do not see the reason for it being there, Exeter runway 08 being a good example where a lot of pilots disregard it and land at the beginning of the runway as they just can't see why it's displaced.
