The parallel is an unstable approach in both cases:

The 2003 accident occurred during the G/A, followed by loss of control.

This month's accident was caused by being too fast/long on landing, and leaving the paved surface at speed into obstacles.

For light aircraft, a critical decision is needed at 200ft AGL
Is the approach stable (as defined) YES ~ continue NO~ G/A.

Simple to say, often difficult to do in the heat of battle.
