Airport I used to work at had 2 Phenoms (I'm pretty sure that one of them is the accident you're talking about), a -100 and a -300, go off the end of the runway within a few months of each other in very similar circumstances: low ceiling, rain, tailwind. We started calling the ditch at the departure end of 35 "Phenom Creek" because they both wound up in it.
