It doesn't matter how much reverse you use, if you land half way down the runway at these speeds you need an arresting wire! One could argue that as reverse is not part of the "stopping peformance" we don't need any.. Non normal stopping distance is nothing like the length they had here. High on glide, float, tail wind.. off the end with panache, there but for the grace etc!
