So? Were they on the glideslope? 2 whites 2 reds? Did they have close in traffic behind and needed minimum runway occupancy. Was it a stable approach? Sink before the threshold, has been seen before at VLC. You don't say what sort of aircraft it was so was it heavy? Needed the full length? Problem with the brakes? No brake fans and a short turn around? reverse thrust not available? etc... etc... etc..

Don't throw mud without knowing the whole story. There could well have been a very good reason to 'put it down short' . You and I will, probably, never know the reason so let it ride.
