I wonder if the flight had landed 12 feet on the concrete, instead of 12 feet short, if the event would have been captured and investigated? Would FOQA have picked that up?

No one would have ever known unless the pilots said something.

The safety management system would have seen a short landing, along with the GPWS glideslope warning. I can see my (or the FOs) touchdown distance for every flight.
