So, crap vis and a slippery runway, and if the tracking data is to be believed, and orbit at the start of the approach. That could have been to avoid a small patch of weather, but is more likely to have been to reduce energy. It'll be interesting to find out what speed and height profile they had on intercepting the approach and where (and if) they met stabilized criteria - it may be that they were stable early on and have been very unlucky, but the orbit raises suspicion of a rushed, high energy approach. I hope for the former.
