Does anybody find it odd that the aircraft left the runway at 3000 feet down from the approach end? Assuming they touched down in a normal 1000-1500 feet down the runway, seems strange to me that it only took 1000-1500ft to go off. Was there a strong crosswind? Aircraft not on centerline? No crosswind controls on landing?

The pilots reported there wasn't any braking sensation. If the brakes malfunctioned and provided no braking force, this doesn't seem to be what caused the jet to deviate off the runway.

The co-pilot said he/she manually deployed the speed brakes. This can occur on icy runways when the tires don't spin up and they slide. Was the Copilot the landing pilot and in reaching for the speed brake lever (on the left) cause the jet to deviate left? I've seen co-pilots do this before in other jets.

Any thoughts?
