I arrived back to Manchester just after the incident, we actually had to hold so the firecrew could reach the aircraft concerned.

Don't know the cause of the reject, but the airbus was parked on taxiway D, with at least one punctured tire, from which there came a lot of smoke. The engine was still running as we passed.

The airport was closed for about 20 min or so, due to no available fire service.
