What could cause hot brakes? I thought runway 27/09 was well within normal cool brake landing distance available.
This 767 had some sort of problem, I noticed him as he went past on short final and he had the main gear doors hanging down (the big ones hinged on the belly centerline). What would cause that?.

He went right to the end and came back up Echo, I could see the Firies holding where they normally do by 34 there with lights off etc then they just set upon him about halfway between N and 34. Normally if you're not having a happy day they chase you off the runway. Just all seemed odd.

By that stage I think there was already a couple 737s behind him and a 767 came off at November about the same time.
