Was the runway actually foamed? I thought this practice was discontinued years ago as it served no useful process other than to boost the profits of the manufacturer of the foaming agent. Anyway, the crew did a good job!

And this is a load of tosh as well:

But then you could say the same about the F50 auto prop feather/reverse system that has recently casued (sic) yet another fatal accident.
The most recent problem in this area was with a Luxair aircraft where, due to a fault with an air/ground switch on the landing gear, ground idle became selectable in flight with fatal consequences.
