according to SDA (swiss news agency) there were 82 pax and 5 crew on board of the Contact Air A/C. among the passengers, the head of the german social democrats franz müntefering was on board.
the plane landed safely on a foam carpet (is this the correct english word?) though one flight attendant suffered minor injuries and had to be brought into a hospital.

from what I saw online elsewhere the airplane performed a go around first.
news say the airport firebrigades had laid out a foam-layer prior to the landing.
could someone give more insight in the relevant procedures and techniques, please?
the video shows the airplane coming in at a very low angle.
could it be that fire brigades were a bit mal positioned? to 'early' on the runway (more towards the middle of it), as when you see the airplane (running) sliding out no fire brigade engines are visible close to the final stoping site.
When they foam a runway, is it out of service for hours? Maybe they need a true emergency where other options have been eliminated before they take a runway out. Unless the plane landed at some out-of-the-way airport.
I don't think my nearest international airport has dropped foam in the last decade.

As they only have 1 rwy at EDDS, cancellations in the monday schedule had to be made. And the Fokker 100 flightplan for sure included a second airport, but EDDS still seemed to be the best place for landing due to a bunch of reasons.
