We had one about a month ago fly really low over our road SWMBO  actually panicked & thought it was going to crash into the field opposite, I only heard it as I was working in the garage, never read anything in our local paper so a complete mystery.

If you look at the later footage it shows you the runway area near the "piano keys". Plenty of tyre rubber there, so loads of other planes have landed at more or less the same point on the runway.

Typical glide slopes are 3degrees, although they can be more or less than this. That's roughly 320 feet per nautical mile so at a quarter of a mile, you'd expect 80 feet. At 100 yards less than 20 feet.

Skiathos runway is only 5341 feet long. That is very short for a commercial airport - most regional airports are 7000+, and international airports are more often 10000+. I can see why the pilot would want to land something as big as an A321 on the first 100 feet of the runway, rather than half way down it.
