I am going to guess this was a departure and NOT a landing. Sounds like an overloaded plane unable to takeoff to me. 7 passengers, luggage and a full tank of gas equals a no-go on a C310.

That jumped out at me, too.
Ruidoso (Sierra Blanca Regional) also has a density/altitude issue, since it is 6814' ASL. The runways are 8100 and 6500 feet, which should be plenty but it is likely that an overloaded 310 would be out of balance as well.
