Narrative:

After landing, while rolling out, tower asked us to get off at fast high speed, to which I replied 'we will try.' there was an aircraft 1 mi in trail. We used maximum brakes and reverse, the captain called for condition levers to min so that he had use of the tiller. While braking his chart book fell onto the tiller and when the condition levers came to minimum we immediately turned to the right. We corrected with left rudder and the aircraft turned left with the aft wing and wheel lifting. The right wing and engine scrapped the ground as we did a 180 degree turn and ran 1/2 off the runway, facing the aircraft about to land on our runway. The aircraft was evacuated and no one was injured.
