Cool! At first I was thinking "he's gonna overrun the runway" but he stopped better than they expected.

Thanks for the link George. I like the fact that they have a procedure to let the air out of the tires. I remember watching the brake test for the A340 (-600 I think) and a few of the main gear wheels caught fire and all the tires exploded one by one. It sent some of the fire fighters running like crazy. If they haven't already then Airbus should "borrow" the deflating tire system that Boeing has employed.

Just mute the atrocious music:
