If I remember well, way back in 1998 a similar "crash" happened at the same airport, same airline and same aircraft type. PILOTS be aware landing during heavy rains...the runway/airport is situated in a valley RWY 30 being DOWNHILL, flash floods occur and if you happen to be at the I would call it terminal you would see buckets, pots, chiken and all sorts of debry heading towards the lake and the "river" is waist deep...the tower is almost 3 km to threshold RWY 30, now picture this, rain is falling, vis 2 km and at some location down the RWY water is waist deep and ALL you could get from tower at MINIMUMS (you have RWY IN SIGHT) IS "runway is wet"...next? you hit a knee high pond at 130 KTS
