Aircraft Mishap at DAB…..Global Warming to blame

Around 5p EDT (2100Z), an aircraft - presumed to be a cessna - rolled off the end of the runway. Ooops. I can tell you weather was not a factor in the crash.
The 2053Z ob was: KDAB 302053Z 05008KT 10SM FEW023 31/22 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP153 T03060222 58017
A couple thoughts come to mind. How can you roll a cessna off a nearly 4000ft runway? These planes are off the ground in 1500ft. Perhaps he was landing? Of course, wouldn’t you think that if you are landing, and more than half the runway is behind and you haven’t touched ground yet….do you think it’s a good idea to keep trying? If you couldn’t land before, what makes you think you can still do it? Come on, give me a break.
I just briefly visited the firefighters and I thought something about fuel was mentioned.
Though I have no idea how he went off the runway, perhaps a blown tire, I can only make assumptions at this time. However, once the investigation is complete, I’m pretty sure the findings will reveal that Global Warming was to blame.
