Can the planes land the other way and avoid the valley drop in case of overshoot? I think Logan Airport in Boston has the runway ending in the sea and has had a plane go into the sea in mid 80s.

No, same drop. Manglore should be for small planes.

I have seen 2-3 times planes half immersed in sea in old Hong Kong airport. Even new Airport approach is very tricky but runway is very big.
