Analysis
The acft overran the rwy end during a night IMC landing. The plt stated 'the descent was steep' and 'I first touched down 1/2 way down the 7000-FT rwy.' He also stated that, 'I decide to plant the acft on the rwy so I could get on the reversers and get it stopped. We hit the rwy extremely hard and the acft began to porpoise. 'The plt than retracted the gear for a go-around but the engines did not spool up and the acft landed wheels-up off the end of the runway.
