Second crash for today?!

Samedan is a very tricky airport located in the Alps with a short runway. Now it's winter and the runway is partially covered in snow, landings can be very tricky. Last week a Global Express overran the runway here as well and ended up in a mountain of snow. Unfortunately this time the damage was much greater...

 

Second crash for today?!

 

Yesterday actually (12th), imagine the uproar if these accidents had happened today, Friday the 13th. Is it also considered an unlucky day in Asia?
