Unless the airplane was in flames, you would still have to take the time to calculate actual (not 121 60%) stopping distance for the conditions at hand. What could have gone wrong...

Conditions not reported correctly.
Long T/D.
High T/D speed.

I would assume that the numbers for a low-flaps LDG on a wet runway would account for higher LDG speed and thus higher risk of hydroplaning, but I don't know for sure...

On a low-flap approach in a jet, you MUST nail the correct speed and GS and be prepared to go-around if you don't (unless you're landing at Edwards AFB)
