Getting back to the subject in hand Gents that being the EI 330 returning and not the state of the EI cabins..

At the time I was on stand 6 (A19) awaiting one of my flights of that dayand surrounded by the lovely people of Aer Rianta VIP with their champagne and an offical Aer Rianta camera man who saw the action and went across the apron as far as he could to get a good shot of the 330 on RWY 28/10 and came back with what looked like the 330 verging towards the grass verge. Funnily enough OPS 2 came by soon after and his picture disappeared from his digital camera !? (hrmm) Also the Airport Authorities were shooting flares on the threshold of 28/10 all that morning up to the time of the EI 330 incident..
That is all speculation however but RWY 28/10 was closed and RWY 34 was opened at 11:38 local... Around 30 minutes after the incident.... Funnily enough the Ryans cashed in on this issue and cancelled three flights... Good old OLeary
