Was just privy to the DFDR decode…..

Aircraft touched down very smooth about 15 knots over Vapp in Heavy Rain.

Before Autobrake "low" was fully active, the right brake pedal was pushed thereby deactivating the Autobrake (it's been suggested that it was pushed by the F/O)

ELEVEN SECONDS later the brakes were pushed heavily and the aircraft vacated the runway. All main tires destroyed. Local A**bus rep say that they need to replace the landing gear. A/C is leased.

more as I hear it…..
