737 veered off landing runway at Arrecife

[Doors to Automatic]

The sad thing about that accident was that the plane only landed 2000ft past the threshold - which on any other runway would have been ok.

Interestingly he landed with the same distance remaining as the 757 and had the Finnair landing been on the old runway he would have missed it althogether!

I have watched this landing a few times now and still can't believe it! It is probably one of the worst I have ever seen. No excuse - except low fuel.

Which leads to my first question, again: what was the FOB at that time?
Does anybody knows?

It was not a fuel issue for sure.
vor 21 app it's not a piece of cake...
