On waffle, piffle and folly part 2

“Consider now if that complex etc. was not there. Not saying that it could have changed the outcome but it certainly would have increased the options available for the pilot to make an emergency landing and/or runway overshoot... Huh”
Absolutely agree. The accident wasn’t caused by the DFO. However, the questionably located building at the end of a runway and intruding upon the OLS took away one of the pilots ‘defences’. Was the aircraft doomed? Pretty much. But the chance of putting the plane down on flat land was completely removed once that building received it’s last lick of paint and the opening ribbon was cut!
AND THE BUILDING IS STILL THERE.
