Now hearing rumours that the landing a/c in front of the Biman hit some debris on the runway themselves and parts of it were imbedded in their a/c. A/c arrived on stand missing one tyre, but I'm hearing that everything else was intact.
The Biman then was cleared for take-off behind this landing a/c (CX freighter?) and 'collected' some parts of the debris too.
The engine fires reported as it was 'taking off' appear to have been the engine nacelles running along the tarmac!!
So perhaps the bashing is a bit premature indeed and that they did a good job to stop the a/c (without reverse...nacelles on tarmac?) having had their nose gear 'taken out' for them!
The question that has to be answered is that whose bits were left on the runway in the first place....it's all very quiet on that front.
Any inputs from our DXB members?
