Here's a video from inside the cabin. An amusing announcement from one of the FAs when some pax stand up - "Ladies and gentleman, we're not there yet. Please sit down". :D

Seconds after the jet stops somebody starts yelling - "should we open the doors ?". You can almost feel those passengers straining at the leash to jump out the exits. Are SWA cockpit crews trained to make an immediate announcement regarding remaining seated after an abort, or any situation that may precede an evacuation ? I'm curious and not being critical. I'm always concerned that some muppet is going to jump out into a spinning engine.

This could have been tragic, and it sounds like the crew did a good job when there was no warning. Hey, this is what we get paid for...The unexpected.
This could be any one of us that posts here. Thank God nobody was hurt seriously.
 
She really made the "We aren't there yet" comment fully sounding like she had no clue anything had happened! Seriously? It was as thought she thought they were just getting up too soon and not that they had just skidded off the runway!
 
Any one consider that they finally made gear speed to late to get the gear down and locked before touchdown?
