midway is an odd little airport. if you flew the ILS Glideslope perfectly to touchdown you would have 4927feet of runway remaining. Even the test for a commercial pilot cert. requires you to show that you can land within 200 feet of your selected spot.

they landed longer than that, plus a bounce of unknown distance.

also note that the ILS OM is much closer to the runway than most.
