777 pilot - "you can make the runway, you just have to be quick about it. And we knew it would happen, they (BA 038 crew) didn't."

He did not mention if they changed configuration or not.

He said they were able to flare to land and barely made the runway. Made it, but barely, with a normal touchdown.

These are issues(speed control, use of A/P, configuration changes, systems operations during events like this) that the AAIB is probably investigating.
