Narrative:
THE FLT WAS CLEARED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 21, WHICH HAD AN OPNL VASI. THE CAPT RPRTD THAT AT ABOUT 200' AGL ON THE APCH, THE ACFT WAS 'BELOW THE VASI' & HE INCREASED POWER TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. HOWEVER, THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN JUST SHORT OF THE RWY & THE MAIN GEAR HIT THE RWY LIP, WHICH WAS ABOUT 6' ABOVE THE OVERRUN AREA. THE MAIN GEAR WHEELS HIT THE LIP & THE RIGHT MAIN TIRES BLEW OUT. THE ACFT CONTD DOWN THE RWY, UNTIL IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 60 KTS, THEN IT VEERED OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY, HIT 2 TWY MARKERS & CAME TO REST WITH SUBSTANTIAL DMG.

Probable Cause: THE CAPTAIN MISJUDGED DISTANCE AND ALTITUDE TO THE RUNWAY AND ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO TOUCH DOWN JUST SHORT OF THE RUNWAY LIP. THE RUNWAY LIP WAS A RELATED FACTOR.
