The fact that the airplane ended up past the end of the runway is
sufficient evidence that this landing was not a good idea. How much more
evidence does one need?

How about some facts, because now you look stupid. Pilots have reported
that the thrust reversers failed to deploy. That will be easily
verifiable with the black box. If they don't pop out 10,000 feet wouldn't
have been enough runway in that weather.

Interesting...

Guess it proves you shouldn't trust non-flying eyewitnesses. I've yet to
see/hear one that didn't say "I heard the jet engines at full power" just
before the plane came through the fence.
