The breaking action you get with a gear up landing is pretty good,
don't need too much runway. If they were really cool they chose their
touchdown point so that it was a short walk to their car.

Enjoy, err, I mean cringe!

They landed a fair way down the runway didn't they? Considering they
apparently were expecting a no gear landing, shouldn't they have
touched down as close to the threshhold as possible to give maximum
stopping distance/
Mind you it does look like a rather long runway anyway.
