1). Can you slow from 270 knots to 100 knots with your speed brakes taped closed in three miles while descending?

2) How can you explain landing almost 2000' down a 7000' runway?

3) What is the effect of high density altitude on true airspeed?-- Note 100 knots indicated  at 9800'  density altitude yields a 116 knot true airspeed. Add approximately 9 knots for tailwind component and you have 125 knot ground speed  on final, if the pilot's statement is accurate.

4) If you have a right brake failure-- how does the airplane end up off the end  of the extended centerline after traveling 5000'? 4) The main landing gear suffered substantial damage, but did not collapse.
