There's an unresolved question here: How does an aircraft come to touch down 4,000' down a runway at Vref speed?
Flying technique, continuing the landing phase beyond the touchdown zone without initiating a go-around as required in the company's FCOM.
captjns,

To be clear, the question is not how did the aircraft get to the place that it did, but how did it get there with the same speed it should have had 10 seconds earlier at the presumed flare point on the glide path?
