April 8, 20224 yr I assumed that the "dust" was something to do with the brakes being asked to go above and beyond the call of duty?

Then perhaps with no stop in sight and unable to understand the constant or increase in speed, nearing the runway end they decide to turn it around to stop it. It seemed fairly clear from the video that the 'dust' was in fact smoke from the wheels and brakes. However it did also sound like the engines were at more than idle speed, which could fit the theory of the crew falsely believing they were applying reverse thrust, but having the opposite effect. With suspect hydraulics or control systems, they may well have elected to land at a slightly higher speed than normal, even after allowing for a high landing weight, and a heavy aircraft takes a lot of stopping. The brakes on both sides were obviously overheating, and If the port brakes burnt out before the starboard ones, that would account for the slew to the right. The full facts should come out eventually. John B

The volume of smoke from the main wheels appears suddenly shortly before the turn, which is probably when they burn out and fail possibly leading them to do a last ditch turn sensing build up in speed or something. Throughout the turn the smoke and soil around the runway can be seen blown up by very high speed thrust winds from both engines, with neither of them having reversers deployed.
