The operator estimated that the landing weight was 6,522 kg. The aircraft manufacturer calculated that at this weight the target threshold speed was 108 KIAS.
Don't know the weights on the 300 but you should be able to calculate from the above estimated landing weight. His speed was 135KTS way over the 108 VREF quoted above and he landed 2/3 of the way down the runway with no chance in hell of stopping. The Captain must have known that which makes this whole thing totally baffling
Low fuel he would have diverted into Farnborough
