Hi
See previous post about brakes etc
I am also confused as I believe it would be shorter distance to BHD, and that the plane would have been flying over belfast lough and not overland as it had to do
Unless Captain felt that there were other issues regarding the plane that it needed a longer runway rather than engine fire.
If as happened diverted, would LDY have been shorter distance to fly?
Surprised that no shutes for near doors of the Dash8. Five foot jump for a young fit pax maybe ok, but someone older must have been daunting
However glad all made it off plane without injuries. Well done to pilot and cabin crew
