He also stated that the pilot that performed the belly landing did really well. The only reason people died was because of the unnecessary huge wall. Doesn’t sound like anything nefarious. Just really poor planning by whoever designed it that way.
I had originally thought that the plane veered off the runway to the right, to hit the wall. But nope, it was right on track. Unfortunately, morons put a cement wall 200 meters passed the runway ending….
It seems some airports have mud pits at the end of runways to slow planes.
