Didn't KAL have a "parked" 747F roll of the apron in Alaska last month?
T/Rs mostly reduce wear on the brakes. The higher the airspeed, the greater the effectiveness. Some of the benefit of T/Rs is the disruption of airflow over the wing the plume acting as big spoilers.

3rd times a charm. 2 failed attempts on the 3rd the pilot didn't want to look foolish with another go-around and probably no fuel left to divert legally so tried to force it and nearly killed everyone. No need to surmise about the thrust reverse system the plane was is perfectly working order to get them 3 shots at landing.
A380- Airbus designed this aircraft NOT to have t/r's at all - t/r's are only fitted on the inbd engines - due to runway widths and FAA certification requirement - 18 main wheels and 16 brakes which are ample - also KL - A330 have PW4000 series engines - which are HYD operated if and I say if there was a HYD failure ( which I dought ) the t/r's wouldn't extend. !!!
The degree of damage seems inconsistent with just grass impact. It looks like the nose gear may have collapsed while on the runway and most dammage occurred then.
