Did they float and land long? Obviously. Could they have stop in the remaining distance even on a wet runway? I don't know. I'll wait for the final report including the performance numbers for stopping on the distance remaining after touchdown.

I will be interested in the final report including the actual runway conditions at the landing time. I will be interested in knowing if the runway drainage system at KIN was maintained properly and not full of debris. I will be interested in knowing if the vegetation on the edges was trimmed properly and didn't cause water to dam up on the runway in heavy rain. I will be interested in hearing if their was an ATR that landed sometime before AA and experienced nil braking. Would there have been an issue even if landing in the last part of the touchdown zone? Dunno, right now it doesn't look good, but I'll wait for the final report.
