Tailwind element present before Pegasus 737 overrun break-up By David Kaminski-Morrow5 February 2020 www.flightglobal.com/news/tailwind-element-present-before-pegasus-737-overrun-break-up/136558.articleWeather data from Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport indicates rain and a strong tailwind component at the time when a landing Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800 overran the runway and broke up...Meteorological data from Sabiha Gokcen at the time of the accident shows rain showers and cumulonimbus cloud in the vicinity. But it also points to winds from 290k at 22kt – and gusting to 37kt – which would result in a tailwind component of 14-24kt as well as a crosswind element for runway 06. The accident is the second serious event involving a Pegasus aircraft in less than a month. One of the carrier’s 737-800s suffered an excursion at Sabiha Gokcen on 7 January, also during strong winds and rain.

Thye crew must have been aware of the conditions. Why didn't they go around and divert like others did right before them ?

Thye crew must have been aware of the conditions. Why didn't they go around and divert like others did right before them ? Because it's great fun to land at high speed with only 3000 ft of runway left. Or maybe there were complete morons.
Maybe someday you will get an answer.
