mxp

hey was waiting in mxp while it all went on was very strange the airport closed maybe 25mins before the 777 landed and no info was given to any of us for maybe 1hr after airfrance landed on Rwy 35r and vacated at Ab taxiway and atc asked if they wanted to cancel mayday which they did but the pilot was concerned about his brakes and then the brakes did over heat and went on fire right hand side 1st then left side, all fire crews were in place,when we finally departed the a/c was being towed to stand i believe! hopefully no one was hurt in this incident and job well done by everyone involved
