two taxiways that lead from the main runway to the terminal. Allegedly
the 737 touched down just beyond the first taxiway. If that's so, then
it's a miracle that it didn't go into the water.




Agreed,
using GE measuring gauge that puts it at about 2,500 ft +_

really short, even on a dry runway..

and if I read the chart right, the landing distance for a 737-800
on a wet runway is 6,675 ft, could not find a chart for absolute
minimum.
