Just saw this video of a Dash 8 landing with an extraordinarily short rollout. Looks to be a little over 300 feet, based on Google maps. You might want to mute the radio playing in the background:

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.

Wow, sweet landing... I agree, the winds may have helped. The second video is also VERY windy...
