I can confirm it was a World MD11 which went off 15R early in the morning - I drove past on my way to the Police Flying Wing just as they were offloading the pax. Vis around 1400m; can't remember what the wind was as we didn't fly that day or the next so didn't log ATIS. The incident caused all sorts of mayhem as they had to hurriedly (well, hurriedly for KWI) reopen 15L which was undergoing maint at the time. Our visiting TRE emailed me from the UK having gone back the next day, saying that the skid-marks tell an interesting story.
