According to the Dutch aviation news site luchtvaartnieuws suffered the Atlas 747 from blown tyres on departure from runway 36L. The flight crew elected to return to Schiphol and landed on runway 06 during the landing more tyres burst and the aircraft was stranded on the runway. Both runway 36L and 06 are closed for the time. Runway 36L is closed because the Atlas 747 took out some of the lights on departure. Runway 06 is closed due to the aircraft blocking the runway and due to surface damage to the runway.

The incident didn't result in any delays on the airport because the airport was able to use other runways for arriving and departing air traffic.
