In "whiteout" conditions, flying a visual approach, I would almost understand how you land off runway like that.
But from an ILS with low visibility?

ILS RWY 01 was OTS

Was it OTS before, or was it OTS'd after the accident as is the standard procedure?

That's even more serious, because the weather was way below the minimums for the GPS RNAV 01.

Think the ILS NOTAM was after the fact.
FAA routinely does that to test it for issues.

It was after the fact. From the NOTAM times, the airport was closed an hour before the ILS went OTS.

The ILS was not NOTAM'd OTS before the incident. And it was the only approach that was legal to shoot at that weather. I think a reasonable conclusion is, that they were shooting the ILS 01.
