Second time in a year, and third in recent memory...

I think they're thinking 'Again?'
 
Doubt they landed on the grass. Most likely loss of directional control. Known issue with the catfish.
 
Why not the EMAS at the end of the runway?

I'm betting that as a reporter misunderstanding what he was told. If that plane doesn't have brakes, it likely doesn't have nose steering either (and reverse/differential power are...minimally effective).
 
After you mentioned the EMAS, I figured there was some consideration for the low-sitting nose and canards of the P.180.
