Missed Approach
Funny how everyone here is doing the "armchair" quarterback talking about what happened here. In the interview with the Captain he is talking about "saving lives"? Why didn't they do a go around and take a hold until the weather improved? I fly the 737-800 into 7000 foot runways and when it is wet we use Autobrake max and flaps 40. That equates to about a 138 knot ref speed roughly at 140,000 pound landing weight.
Lets wait and see the final report before jumping to conclusions!
If in doubt-Go Around! Thats what we train for in the "box" every 6 months!
