This is about some Atlas Air landing accident Boeing 747-200 overrun at Düsseldorf in 2005. Crew of three unhurt, airplane written off.
The final report of the german BFU ("NTSB") is out. Pilots had been told about "medium" runway conditions and braking action right before landing but experienced way worse due to heavy snow and winds. BFU clears the pilots in their final report now says technology to measure current rwy-surface conditions is not sufficient.
