  1. No.. This is not an overshoot.. More of an over speed taxiing done by the flight crew.

  2. Yeah, taxi speed is too fast and when he tried to step on the brakes the plane skidded towards the end of the runway and into the grass. They should be more careful in taxiing specially on wet runways.
