Assuming the sequence of events was runway contact and engine damage causing dual IDG failures and then RAT engagement, it seems improbable the turbine would deploy quickly enough to contact the runway.
Surely the amount of time the nacelles were on the runway was no more than a second or two, as throttle advancement and arrest of the aircraft sink rate had already occurred before contact. If this was not so, undoubtedly it would not have been able to fly away.
As is true with all conjecture in this thread, the above scenario depends on wildly improbable events. I must agree with others who have commented, the entire episode beggars belief.
