The aircraft landed on Runway 24, with a surface wind of 270/20 to 30 kt following a shuttle flight
from Heathrow to Manchester. The runway state was given as wet, although it was actually
dry along the centre portions and damp at the edges. Auto brake was selected to level 2 with the
Commander handling and the First Officer briefed to select reverse idle only.
The landing was normal and after eight seconds, at a speed of 95 kt the auto brake was cancelled by
application of moderate pressure on the brake pedals to achieve a rapid exit. A few seconds later a
severe vibration was felt through the airframe; the rudder pedals were pulsating violently such that
the Commander had difficulty keeping his feet on them. He felt the brakes were also pulling to the
right. The aircraft came to a stop beside Rapid Exit X. The First Officer interrogated the Status page
on the Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) which showed all brakes to be cold
with no warnings.
The fire service attended but could find nothing abnormal. Following an inspection by the airline's
maintenance personnel they noted that none of the main tires had flat spots but there were
heavy rubber deposits on the runway for the last 10m from the Right Main Gear. The aircraft was
towed to a stand where the passengers disembarked normally. After applying the parking brake on
stand,it was noticed that the brake accumulator pressure was nearly depleted. One passenger and the
First Officer complained of "whiplash" type neck injuries and they received medical attention.
