Delta A330 lands just a bit short of the runway at AMS.

This incident involves a nearly 20-year-old Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-300 with the registration code N802NW. The plane operated DL134 from Detroit (DTW) to Amsterdam (AMS), departing on the evening of January 11, and landing on the morning of January 12.

I don't have the charts for the airport available, is it a CAT1 ILS or higher? If higher maybe autoland is the way to go on that runway unless the weather is severe clear in which case it sounds like they don't use it unless the wind is really blowing as it was that day.
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?

Cat I ILS fitted, no displaced threshold and less comprehensive landing lights.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

So the pilot is flying from runway environment acquisition. 60000 feet is plenty of room to stop on. Landing short, even by 6 feet means a less than stable final approach. The wind must have gotten the better of them.
