Was sitting in my cockpit observing from stand 62 and I did see the plane touchdown before the 09/27 intersecion. just wanted to say that after all this happened we were not allowed to take off from Rwy 09/27 because as per the ground controller the navaids were inop - anyone care to explain that mind boggling one! After waiting for two hours during which time we all (30 odd a/c) questioned various sources over the r/t and the phone to clarif this, we were allowed to go using our take off alternates. Is using take off alternates not common there? During the waiting period the r/t over ground was hilarious and the ground controller once replied to a query about an aircrafts sequence by saying 'now the sequence has gone for a six'
