Those that have flown the -500 series TriStar know that the brakes are VERY effective, and stop the aeroplane...pronto.
But they do get hot in the process, so fuse plugs are used (as designed),...and I personally think that leaving the pax on board is a good idea...far too may problems have occured with evacs in unfortunate circumstances.
It all depends on the... (what a novel idea)... Commanders decision.
