Ok, yes its a big airplane. But the runway is PLENTY long! They were trying to make the turnoff? Please. That airplane was empty and very light, it should have been no big deal. Isn't it supposed to be some kinda technological tour de force? So why such an ugly landing? As far as the "envy" some are implying, sorry, but that plane is a white elephant, and the biggest taxpayer ripoff in history! How many have they sold? Aren't the pilots some kinda super Airbus test pilot dudes? Where are they now? Back in France doing some explaining? Isn't Airbus trying to SELL these things? That landing didn't make me want to buy one. Sorry, unimpressed.
