The very unfortunate accident should remind all pilots of the absolute caution needed to be exercised when the runway is wet and/or very slippery.
In my rather long career, I have had only one rather nasty experience with difficulty stopping, and this was at the old Taipei airport long ago, in a B707.
Even with an approach flown right at Vref, and a touchdown in the first 500 feet, it took nearly 9000 feet to come to a stop...right at the very end.
The First Officer looked at me and said...."you did everything right, Captain, still, we were very lucky."
I could not have agreed more.
