(-23) NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT 877 FROM LOUISVILLE KY (SDF) TO MINNEAPOLIS MN (MSP) EXPERIENCED NORMAL FLIGHT UNTIL THE LANDING ROLL OUT. THE CO-PILOT WAS MAKING THE LANDING AND AT THE 60-KNOT CALL OUT CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE CAPTAIN. THE CAPTAIN MADE HIS FIRST NORMAL BRAKE APPLICATION AT WHICH TIME THE AIRCRAFT DROPPED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT AND BEGUN SKIDDING DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE WITH A SIGNIFICANT RIGHT LEAN. THE FLIGHT CREW ELECTED TO NOT EVACUATE THE PASSENGERS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO SMOKE OR FIRE OBSERVED BY THE CREW OR THE FIRE RESCUE TEAM. A PORTABLE STAIR WAS PLACED AT DOOR 1L AND THE PASSENGERS AND CREW EXITED. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR FOLDED BACK WHICH DAMAGED THE RIGHT FLAP. THE RIGHT WING TIP WAS SCRAPED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS AIRBAG LIFTED AND TRANSPORTED TO A MAINTENANCE HANGER.
