I heard a professor emeritous of areonautics interviewed on the radio Monday. He said he could see skid marks on the runway that looked to him like th pilots had tried to rotae to a very steep angle of attack on realizing their error on the runway.

I don't know where they wre in the process when they realized it, but I wonder if it would have been better to cut the power, use the brakes, reverse thrust, whatever and jsut run off the end of the runway?
