It is sad that most of you on this post generally accept that the 404 was over weight e.g carrying max fuel etc.
It would be nice if you gave the pilot the professional respect he deserves and assumed that he was operating the aircraft within it's limitations.
I am sure when all the facts come out over time it will be shown that (a) The aircraft was not overweight (b) The pilot did everything he possibly could to get the aircraft down safely.
Anyone noticed the clear area of sand about 100 mtrs further along the flight path? That he was possibly trying to reach
Anyone wondered that he may have turned left off 24R to avoid the built up area?
Give theses guys and there families a break and try to stick to the facts.
