The weather was horrible - right near limits for us. Many go-arounds and aircraft sat at the threshold unable to take off due crosswind outside limits. Bumpy as f$%k !!

The incident was on 26L at around 1900-1930Z. Company said an Air France cargo plane off the runway in the mud but not sure. Initially airport closed to us for 20 mins but then open again and normal approach (ATC wise) to 27R. 26R was then being used for landings and it seemed all take-offs from 27L.

Obviously no big deal as I cannot find any details elsewhere.
