Like doing what things? What I read so far is that they suspect the pilot had control issues.
I don't think people who say that it's a bad idea to have a concrete wall at the end of the runway argue the plane should make its way to a nearby motorway. I think most refer to using EMAS, ie a crushable concrete floor in which the plane sinks and stops.
EMAS is designed to crush under the pressure of all of the aircraft's weight pushing down on the relatively narrow contact area of the tires. There were no tires in this case. I am unaware of an EMAS that has been designed or tested for the far more broadly distributed weight of a belly landing.
> bad idea to have a concrete wall at the end of the runway
but was it the end of the runway? As I understand, the pilot came in from the opposite direction, i.e.
> The pilot then aborted the original landing and requested permission to land from the opposite direction.[1]
So that wall was located at the beginning of the runway if the runway was used correctly.
From the bottom image[2], it would appear the wall is located behind the point where planes begin their take-off (and I assume their landing) - but I'm no aviation expert.
