The weather and mechanical problem actually, and the runway there didn't have grooves that channeled water. Hydroplaning occurred, and without reverse thrust, and landing on a ridiculously short runway, it obviously over shot it.

@Xerokedes ...the factual information is that No.2 [right] engine was developing significant forward cruise thrust during landing roll because neither of the two captains had retarded thrust lever No.2. Reverse thrust is not included when computing certified stopping distances. For many decades this same wet runway has been used by many different airlines with different equipment. In earlier times Trans Brasil had used larger and heavier B727s at this airport, on wet and dry pavements.

Because, unfortunately, the reverser which failed caused a turn exactly to the buidling. Brazil does not 'attract' terrorists, believe me.

A pista tem 1976 metros, não pira, se fosse só isso todos os aviões estariam acidentados empilhados um em cima do outro na Avenida Bandeirantes --"

The accident was caused by pilot error. One of his reversors wasn't working. Aparently he forgot and the plane listed to one side. It's hard to explain but the crash had to do with the throttle and its several levers which have the reversor levers next to it.
This simulation has been made for french TV to explain what happened. My hope is that it could help to increase air transports security.
For sure it is deeply sad and our prayers go to the victims' families
