Of course this was live TV and they didn't know what to do so they panned back to the studio to ask former 777 pilot Les Abend (who appeared to have a cheshire cat smirk on his face) why the a/c was unable to stop. Les inquired whether the autobrakes were selected to max. They flash back to mr. plaid shirt and ask him if the autobrakes were used. He replied something to the effect of "they didn't come on" and he didn't know why.
