160 knots?

Google tells me: "Modern jets land between 120–150 kt. This depends on weight, weather conditions and several other factors."

So even after scratching asphalt for 2/3 of the runway it was still faster than the normal landing speed.

My uneducated gut feeling says pilot was trying to abort the landing.
