The "press" are still milking this minor incident for all its worth. Tonights Manchester evening news headlines.

"PROBE INTO RUNWAY COLLISION"

presumably to get ones attention, they then actually tone down the incident in the text.

In an earlier post a passenger claimed the 767 was at take off speed, I can see how a novice could be confused as the 767 had just crossed 24R, this crossing sometimes takes a fair bit of thrust to get a widebody over the hump !!
