With those conditions in a B737 (I'm assuming it was - but could have been a E170 or 190), why would you need MAX braking? Autobrake 3 should have been more than sufficient to pull it up, generally by the second taxiway in on the left on rwy 30, even if it was wet.

All will come out in the wash I guess, but I would hazard a guess at a touchdown that was fairly deep.

I suspect though, that this thread was started to highlight the difference in the media attitude to QF incidents versus others, and in this case the point is valid, although the punters likely wouldnt have known much about it.
