Not trying to 2nd-guess this crew - I'm sure they're doing everything they can, but....
Having had this very same situation happen to me in the RAF, with a severly screwed-up landing gear geometry, I might have been tempted to take this A-320 to Edwards AFB - plenty of run-off room there if the jet goes crazy-Ivan, like mine did. Plenty of time to get extra ARFF there from Palmdale, Goerge, Ont, etc.
The dirt might slow the jet better, too.
Will the 320's FBW let you hold the nose off, BTW?
BEST OF LUCK, GUYS...
