mmmm..was not on board but had just landed and taken "Juliet" to allow the Bmi Airbus (not 737) to backtrack for 23 departure. As we taxied down Alpha I heard the call from the FD that they had a stall, tower replied acknowledging they had seen the flames. They will have been lucky to get anywhere near even 20kts...could be wrong but they had not travelled far at all. Steps put on the AC and pax disembarked....really was a miraculous escape! Did not realise Airbus were single crew "A PILOT narrowly avoided disaster"
Makes for good reading though
