As I heard, at St. Marteen, because of shorter runway this type of landing is considered perfect.

Actually it did touch down. There was a big discussion about this in the discussion forum on http://www.airliners.net." rel="nofollow">LINK

Anyway, as the saying goes, as long you walk away with nothing broken, it is a safe landing.

At 7054 ft, yes, the runway is quite short for a 747. However, it is relatively short for takeoff and not landings. Landings can be completed within that length. And for takeoffs, the yellow triangle area of the runway is legally usable. So that gives more length than the 7054 ft.
