Nothing to revise then - the runway (not the taxyway) was below strength for the type and the operator hadn't known. The buck stops there.

Sure you can get away with a traverse provided you are going fast enough at temporary overload but you can't go fast on a 180.
To go for Take Off on a suspect pavement still seems cavalier to me, unless some quick measurements had been taken.

And as to the personal responses:

ETOPS, Operator makes no difference to me - the comments would have been the same.

MINESAGROLSCH - Charter world? Don't get your drift.

TANDEMROTOR - joke at the end? - the joke was at the beginning - "Breaking News".
