Imho, with poor visibility and a cross wind, it could be very easy to line up on left edge of runway , and with the MD80's high nose up attitude and low wing tips, hit a wingtip and veer to the left sharply. Things happen quickly, and the debate on old aircraft, passengers deplaning with luggage, etc., makes me laugh. This airport was designed a long time ago and for DC3s and flying boats. Shut this place down already. CC, Similar event in Canada a few years ago.
