No indication in the Bus that the autobrake was kicked off.
Just no blue "on" and no green "decel" lights in the push button any more.
Interesting. Not an Airbus bloke, so had no idea the visual 'warning' of the autobrake no longer doing its job was quite so muted. I think I'll add this as evidence to my quarterbacking theory that they didn't notice the lack of braking until too late. External distractions, lack of warning that something is amiss, busy bees trying to do their job in non-ideal circumstances...why do the Swiss put holes in their cheese, anyone would think they like accidents.
