Narrative:
We were in a DC8 landing at den. There were no braking action reports or runway clutter reports listed on ATIS. When we were passed to den tower, they didn't pass on any braking reports or information about the runway (runway 35L). The captain made a normal landing and applied reverse thrust and brakes. We were unable to stop and went off the end of the runway. There was no aircraft damage and no one was hurt. The FAA and NTSB were notified. The tower closed the runway and within 15 mins had over 20 vehicles plowing the runway. The DC8-61 series airplane has poor reversing capabilities and the last 5000 ft of the runway had nil braking. If the tower had passed on runway conditions and braking reports, we would have better assessed the situation and probably avoided the incident.

Title: A DC8-61 MADE A NORMAL LNDG WITH THRUST REVERSERS AND BRAKING BUT DUE TO NIL RWY BRAKING CONDITIONS RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY. NO ATIS OR TWR ADVISORY GIVEN ON BRAKING CONDITION.
Narrative: WE WERE IN A DC8 LNDG AT DEN. THERE WERE NO BRAKING ACTION RPTS OR RWY CLUTTER RPTS LISTED ON ATIS. WHEN WE WERE PASSED TO DEN TWR, THEY DIDN'T PASS ON ANY BRAKING RPTS OR INFO ABOUT THE RWY (RWY 35L). THE CAPT MADE A NORMAL LNDG AND APPLIED REVERSE THRUST AND BRAKES. WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP AND WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY. THERE WAS NO ACFT DAMAGE AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THE FAA AND NTSB WERE NOTIFIED. THE TWR CLOSED THE RWY AND WITHIN 15 MINS HAD OVER 20 VEHICLES PLOWING THE RWY. THE DC8-61 SERIES AIRPLANE HAS POOR REVERSING CAPABILITIES AND THE LAST 5000 FT OF THE RWY HAD NIL BRAKING. IF THE TWR HAD PASSED ON RWY CONDITIONS AND BRAKING RPTS, WE WOULD HAVE BETTER ASSESSED THE SIT AND PROBABLY AVOIDED THE INCIDENT.
