OK, we saw the event happening from stand 22 today preparing for the flight with a coffee.

Aircraft came over the threshold with from what we could judge at least 200kts and flaps less then normal landing flaps. Touchdown was not unusually deep. The WX was quite OK; the heavy rain came only later. After touchdown the expected smoketrail followed and the aircraft came to a stop BEFORE the end of the 3400m runway with the right engine just over the runway edge line. This can also be seen on the picures. Also you can see on the pictures that the flaps are up and that they probably have had to land with that in a non-normal situation. The fire dept. came out only after the landing, which suggests it was not a prepared EMC. landing.

No one can accuse me of being a praticular fan of this Airline (or the safety statistics here), but let's give the colleagues the benefit of the doubt and pause on hinting on screwups and so on. Also, flying into Airports with 10000MSA around it requires a bit steeper profile, but that should be no stress for most of us, esp. for the people working here.
