A hard slam on the brakes and a plane heavy with fuel at the time- lots of heat generated and it’s probably a good idea at that point to let them cool off and then do a tech inspection for damage before returning the plane to service. And you also don’t want pilots who are probably feeling a little shaky at the point immediately taking off either.

I’m not sure why the AA plane went merrily along.
