"Landed faster than normal " is the typical sort of statement from a highly experienced passenger. Try a wind of 330 30/45 and see what any a/c will do!!
"Fire engines on the runway" What utter rubbish - how can an a/c land with vehicles on the runway. ICAO requirements require a standby in the event of a KNOWN problem irrespective of what it is. Vehicles were simply in their USUAL positions and a vehicle always follows the landing a/c in case of problems and also so inspect the runway for any contamination so it can be made avail ASAP after landing.
my word I cant believe I am reading such rubbish
