Towing the airplane after an high speed abort
A colleague of mine, involved in the LIRN abort some time ago, vacated the runway and stopped.
He refused to move his 734 for more than one hour.
The airport authorities were quite upset because he "blocked" their taxiway instead of taxiing to the terminal.
We don't know exactly if the abort falled into the FUSE PLUG MELT ZONE.
Fact is, the tires didn't deflate, and he took off again after two hours.
Besides the excellent job he did in averting a major disaster (a collision with the Alitalia MD80), I raised the following point:
of course it's not possible to taxi on your own after that, but what about towing the airplane, at walking pace, watched carefully by the ground engineers, all the way down to the gate, instead of remaining stuck in a critical position for a small, crowded airport?
