Learning a good lesson from other pilots mistakes. B727 accident a case in point.

Yes C, my FO was flying that day. Did a great job, touched down on the 1000ft markers and max reverse only to be covered by a wall of water from the Swimming Pool ( my nickname for 18L), went straight back down to the HSI to keep straight, (thanks for teaching me that btw), as it was IMC! I was surprised when we came out of the water because we were dead on centreline. Anyway, pulled off at the first intersection, and warned the tower. Nearing the bay, my FO said the 72 was going to overrun because he touched down halfway..(I remember thinking, that no one in his right mind lands a jet halfway down a runway) minute later.... 'Tower, this is ...., we have crashed'
