I was stuck in LCY today due to this incident-

At about 0835, after what appeared to be a fairly normal touchdown (though landings on 10 are often sporting!), I heard the Cityjet crew report to ATC that they were stopped on the runway- the aircraft was at the upwind threshold end of 10, hard to be sure, but seemed to be to the left of the centreline, pointing somewhat to the right.

Lots of waiting around then ensued...

Crew later reported that the Capt and FO both tried their brakes to no good effect, emergency brakes used, and resulted in an immobilised aircraft.

When the 146 was being towed past us, the tyres (the ones on the wheels that hadn't been changed) were in a very bad way indeed.

Everyone OK, as far as I know, which is nice.
