a flight attendant was interviewed from his hospital bed and declared that the braking was normal
Can people remember that even if this is an accurate report of a credible interview in a respectable publication, eyewitness evidence recollection in situations like this is notoriously unreliable. Didn't another surviving FA say that this was the second attempt to land?
I'm not saying it is in this case, just that this is another time to wait for the DFDR evidence.
