Sorry sky, i think you missed my point. Having viewed the metar at HBA at the time, I see no reason that more than autobrake 3 would be planned. The surface conditions dont appear threatening. Sure, as the piano keys at the far end dissapear under the nose it is a fair assumption that the lads will have been doing all they could to stop the bastard including max manual braking, but I cant see any adverse circumstances, weather wise.

Malfunction of autobrake perhaps?

would you barke normally
Bloody oath I'd be barkeing! Sorry mate, couldnt help myself.
