You would never think you could stop a plane that bit that fast.

I wouldn’t have been worry that much about stopping (tremendous reversing thrust) my concern would have been weight restrictions

I watched a military 747 (NAECP) do a minimum distance landing. They stopped it in far less distance than this C17 just did.

There has to be a reason he put it down. Even if he lined up on the wrong runway he would have noticed it before touching down and would have aborted the landing.
