could somebody rated on A380 throw some light.

"the aircraft suffered an anti-skid failure on landing resulting in brakes blocking and causing two main wheels to be ground down to the axle",

Could any A380 experienced crew suggest the reason for the same. The crew seems to have vacated the active runway and soon after stopped the airplane. Could they have been a better decision or is it expected to wear out to the axle for a tire deflation on landing.

Also why was the runway closed for operations for 13 + hours if the aircraft was disabled outside the runway.

I believe it caused a lot of delays due single runway ops to all departures and arrivals.
