Hey! How 'bout that!
The frangible concrete runway over run section worked just fine! Plane didn't look too destroyed either, but I bet it gets a thorough checkout before it flies again.
Hear there was another nearly 300' of the stuff unmolesterated by the plane undercarriage, so we can conclude the energy absorbing capacity of the strip was just fine for the Pence 737, and that a larger plane would have faired OK too, or the 737 could have been going faster.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
