Ahhh, sarcasm.
Short runway and tailwind, and longer runway available.
At least decide to plant it timely...even though parlour talking amateurs will admonish the Pilots for not choosing a better runway.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

Tailwind component was 5 to 8 knots. Sure that was not the only factor causing the plane to overrun to 50, not 100, not 200 but 600 ft.

It may increase the overrun distance just a bit, but not anywhere close to 600 ft. Remove one zero.

From the comments on that video:
I landed on RWY 14 about 3 hours before this happened. It was pretty bad weather raining with gusting winds in excess of 30 knots almost direct crosswind. The reason they did not land on 23 is because the ILS was inop and the lightning system for that runway was also not functioning.Be alert! America needs more lerts.

It seems that the weather and inoperative ILS and lights may have supported the short runway with the tailwind, ASS-uming the arithmetic supported the runway as long enough.
We now need to figure out how much runway they should have needed, if they touched down decently and if all 6000 PSI went straight to the brake pads.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
