Congratulations also to London ATC. In the aftermath of the accident they remained very calm and professional when dealing with the many holding and diverting aircraft. In a very british statement reminiscent of Lawrence (Titus) Oates last words (see Scott's Antartic expedition) ATC said " we're just cleaning up a bit of debris from the runway, we're not sure how long it will be !"
