The Daily Mails Coverage of the incident is hilarious, it would be interesting to know who their "aviation" source was

Terrified tourists evacuated from plane after it overshot the runway and skidded onto grass at Birmingham Airport | Mail Online
They really do know how to sensationalise.....

Though having flown Monarch several times to the Canaries, and viewed them as a fairly premium airline similar to, say, Thompson/Tui, what in the hell were they thinking by leasing shonky Lithuanian sheds??? How does that even begin to fit their airline profile??
