Does anyone know if this a/c went off the end or the side? Were they trying to make a turnoff? 08R is 'only' 2,700 metres compared with the other side, which is 4,200.
Any pictures yet?
How are they recovering it?
I'd love to see the runway friction readings that should have been taken immediately afterwards (though probably not much chance!)
I believe this isn't the first 747 they've had off the end of the runway - the last one was scrapped, but presumably a -300 is worth a bit more...
Cheers,
The Odd One.
