Definitely a lesson learned here, but I would like to say that having spoken to the guys from engineering who went out to rescue the a/c, they spoke so highly of the captain and the way in which he carried himself throughout the ordeal. He is a totally selfless, egoless and cautious person with a huge experience level, and was in from the very beginning with the UKs second flag carrier with lots of flight time and training time including Base trainer (heavy). So if it can happen to him, it can happen to us all. I'd like to say I am grateful for the lesson, and have learnt from it and beyond the taxiing incident, I have also picked up a few tips on how to conduct oneself post incident.
