Korean Air flight 631 overran the runway at Cebu Mactan International Airport during landing on Sunday, 23 October. The aircraft, an A330-300, came to rest approximately 300 meters beyond the runway. None of the 162 passengers and 11 crew members sustained serious injuries.
Korean Air 631 departed Seoul at 19:20 local time (10:20 UTC) and flew south toward Cebu. At about 14:12 UTC KE631 was on final approach to Runway 22 and executed a go around, immediately attempting to land again at 14:26 UTC. After a second go around, KE631 held northeast of the airfield for approximately 30 minutes before conducting a third approach. The third approach resulted in a successful touchdown at 15:08 UTC, however, the aircraft was unable to stop on the runway.

My worst ever landing experience was landing in Wellington, NZ among heavy crosswinds. Passengers broke into applause after we touched down.
Looks like at least one of the engines is a write-off too.
That hull and possibly the engines will be completely written off.
It’s also wearing the runway fence amidships.

We Too Low!
Good find of the location. Thanks for posting it.
The 3rd photo up-thread indicates there is standing water on the ground on the port side of the cockpit. Were the go-arounds due to a rainstorm, perhaps?
