Incident Overview
A pilot reported that after a precautionary shutdown of the No. 2 engine, he diverted to an alternate airport that was closer than the original destination. During the landing, the airplane touched down "a little fast" in tailwind conditions. The pilot added that as the brakes faded from continuous use, the airplane was unable to stop and overran the end of the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The decision to land with a tailwind and the touchdown speed were noted as factors.
Damage
Substantial damage to the fuselage was reported as a result of the overrun.
