This is the sort of gratuitously rude contribution that gives PPRuNe such a bad name.
I trust you are referring to the ***** you then write, and not Ham Phisted?

I am sure it did not take long to inspect the runway (27L). I suspect the inspection found some bits How long do you think it took to log / photograph their positions, and possibly get AAIB clearance to move them? And then thoroughly clear the runway. F1 illustrates how well (or not) CFRC stays intact when it takes an unintentional flight

Or maybe they should have just sent more aircraft down the runway and just hoped an AF Concorde did not happen? After all:
thereby causing massive disruption for thousands of passengers and major losses to airlines
is clearly more important than safety for you?

I am not sure how long 27L was closed, but I do not think it was very long. I think the major disruption was getting 27R open again, and recovering the diverisons.
