Braking conditions were apparently reported as fair to poor. I would
think
that that would be sufficient to question the wisdom of landing with a
tail
wind on a relatively short (for commercial jets) runway.

I recall reading that it was reported as fair, and if it had been poor,
another runway would have automatically been put into use, and the first one
closed. I could be wrong, but that is what I remembered.
