Tonic. Don't get distressed. I am an air traffic controller and still listen to my VHF radio at home. That's how I started in this game - as an avid spotter with a VHF set about 45 years ago. However, when I hear something like you heard I don't find any necessity to write about it on the Professional Pilots Network! It really isn't "big" news. I've had exactly that sort of thing happen when I was a Tower controller at Heathrow. Blocked runway.. fine.. let's get some across to the other side, etc. It quite obviously was no big deal to the crew either or they would have returned. I had a 747 lose a wheel on take off at Heathrow once and he just kept going. To those of us in the business it just happens and we sort it like professionals and that's it. There are far more exciting things than that going on which still don't get mentioned on here, believe me.
Anyway, good luck with your career..
