If true that would be pretty serious. Flap 10 is an odd flap setting on a 737 though.

It would have been an exceedingly rushed approach. I am surprised that they even got the wheels down, especially if they only ended up with flap 10 selected. Exceeding the flap 10 speed limit and landing 3000 feet in and still managing to stop I am surprised they didn't have a brake fire. Or maybe they did.

Me thinks there must be some exagerating going on here.
