Analysis
The pilot stated that he came in high and fast, with only 20 degrees of flaps on his second landing attempt. Because of hilly terrain, the pilot elected to land long rather than execute a go-around. The aircraft overran the runway, rolled into a ditch and barbed wire fence and continued across a road and into another ditch.
