Very lucky there was NO fire!

Well, it's an 8,900 foot runway, and there
certainly no ICING problems, so perhaps a
very late touchdown and/or thrust reversers
failing or brakes or God knows what!

No loss of life is Great! It'll be interesting
to discover just what the *%#! happened.

I like to do my planning retroactively!
