once again ...

this is a wait and see.

@ DTA I see the relevence in flight safety and awareness terms, the airport that comes immediately to mind from personal experience is LCY.
Unless the performance calculation / aircraft handling / servicability was compromised, the aircraft should have been able to stop within the calculated distance, if not why not seems a fair question.

If one was to delay the arrival of a flight, and the subsequent departure by 35 minutes because of such an incident, one might consider filing an occurance report perhaps ? it would go some way to explaining to interested parties an additional tug fee appearing on a handling invoice, and why an active runway was not available for use during recovery.

It would also make life less awkward when ATC's version of events is brought to the attention of the CP/FM/DFO.

Presumably, this will be the chain of events which will supercede the account given by the press, which quite correctly is viewed with initial scepticism.
