Just out of interest: What was the PIA incident that was ongoing at the same time?
I was a passenger on an Iberia/Vueling flight that had pushed back at around 1630. Before taxying, at about 1640 the captain shut down the engines and announced we were delayed by an aircraft that had just landed and had one (or was it two) burst tyres ahead of us. I presume this was the PIA incident. We were delayed by about 80 minutes in total when the 787 incident came on top of that and we saw the aircraft in question on taxi for takeoff.
