Interesting to note that the aircrfat landed on 27L. Where as up till that point and afterwards the runways in use were 09L & R. So from my vantage point (On K16) the departing aircraft were held while the QF landed, and once he was clear of 27L they resumed. Seems strange th land the opposite way to everyone else and then taxi almost straight to the gate (with only a very short hold after clearing the runway)
Incidently heard that Big Airways had a 767 with an engine failure on take off today as well.

Keeps the Fire crews and runway sweepers busy.
