This article quotes Boeing figures for max landing weight, still air and SEA LEVEL 1800 m required and after the late touchdown this aircraft had 2500 m, so more than enough eh?
Cazale33 @ 131 calculates the density altitude that day was 4620ft, not sea level and possibly with a tail wind thrown in for good luck.
Not sure about the weight but the altitude and tailwind could really mess you up.
I landed at LCY one day with slightly more tailwind than I should have accepted and got much closer to the end on the concrete than I would have liked. It's also a big mistake to go into the performance graphs with actual airfield elevation when all the performance is calculated on density altitude.
