PASSENGERS DESCRIBED TOUCHDOWN AS FAST & LONG WITH NO ENG NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH REVERSE THRUST IMMEDIATELY AFTER TOUCHDOWN. THE ACFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY & THE NOSE GEAR SEPARATED. ACCORDING TO THE CREW THE PLT INITIATED THE THRUST REVERSERS AFTER TOUCHDOWN, HOWEVER, THE PINS DID NOT REMOVE & THE THRUST LEVERS WERE RESTORED. AS BRAKING WAS EMPLOYED, THE THRUST REVERSERS WERE RE-INITIATED. THE PINS REMOVED & FULL REVERSE WAS APPLIED. BY THIS TIME THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RWY REMAINING TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND. THE SQUAT SWITCH RELAY PANEL PREVENTS OPERATION OF THE THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM UNTIL THE SQUAT SWITCHES ARE IN THE GROUND MODE. THE GROUND SPOILERS WERE NOT DEPLOYED.
