Um, isn’t that what an airplane is supposed to do ?

Not four times as fast as other aircraft. If you believe that statement. That would be fast enough to rip the landing gear off. Maybe the spoilers and flaps could not be deployed, thus forcing the aircraft to fly fast to maintain lift.

General opinion here is aborted landing.

Either that maybe or the reverse thrusters didn’t deploy, which would speed the plane up even more. Who knows.
