In 2018, another Southwest flight used that same EMAS after overrunning the runway yet again, if you can believe it.

For what it’s worth, Burbank actually has a really short runway.
That's one reason why I said "West Coast"; Southern California has a number of airports with short runways, too few runways (San Diego) and highly crowded airspace combining professional pilots flying large planes and rich jerks flying smaller planes who like to argue with air traffic controllers.
