this isnt a video of a landing. This is a video of an airplane rolling at high speed down the runway in the after touchdown configuration. For all we knew this plane never even flew.

what happened to the approach, the a/c is already on reversers...

There was not much snow that day. It was one of those typical-for-Vancouver snowfalls that make everything pretty and white for just a day or so. You get to see your footprints in the snow just once or twice, and then it's rain again. Except about once every 10 years, when the city gets its honest-to-goodness snowfalls and everybody takes pictures while they can. Oh, and of course they feed the birds, who are glad of the handouts.

Its easy to see the most complicated part of the aircraft is its engines.

snow?

@ld8800 I don't think it's so smart to use full braking when the runway is paved with snow and some ice
-
Just jump from your house rooftop in winter then
