Commercial aircraft use Thrust reversers

Note the separation in the engine cowling in the picture below ..... it is deployed during landing to slow the aircraft down.
 
once a british airways flight's engine caught fire on runway,and the pilot applied thrust reversing instead of brakes,causing the fire to spread catastrophically.

Well he should have used the built in fire extinguisher too in the engine .... every jet modern engine I know has one
 
Some fast aircraft like the space shuttle or the Tu-144 require a drag chute too
