Looks like they were very lucky with that one. Coming down so short of the runway fits with reports that the pilot had lost all power only a short time before touch-down and if so he did well to get that far. Some reports almost seem to suggest that the undercarriage failed but that would be inevitable if it landed on soft ground with a high rate of descent. If it had come down only a few tens of yards earlier it would have been a disaster.
