It wasn't clear from the article. What kind of wall did they hit?

They hit a wall and the Instrument Landing System at the end of the runway

That doesn't really answer irrational's question...

The obvious mystery is why you would keep flying for so long after an incident like this...

Maybe burning fuel to reduce the chance of explosion during the emergency landing? That's quite common.

Boeing planes can dump fuel, iirc.
