If jeff64's figures of 161kt and 0.48g deceleration are reliable (and assuming 300 000 ToW) then at the onset of deceleration the braking force would be generating 117 Megawatts.

The aircraft would have stopped in just under 18 seconds covering around 730 metres (lucky to have that much left at Vr).

The total heat generated would be around one billion joules - sufficient to heat two and a half tonnes of cold water to boiling point.

Tea anyone?
