Skyservice A320 - Identical to the one that tailscraped at BRS.
Early indications suggest some kind of on board computer failure.
Passengers and onlookers say that reverse thrust was not used.
***THE TIRES DID NOT BURST ON IMPACT*** they burst as the aircraft skidded down the runway stopping about 20ft from the end at an apx 20 degree angle to the centerline.
3 tires burst in the skid one was let down later by emergency crews.
The skyservice engineers are very proffesional and highly efficient there is no way that the aircraft would have been released sub standard.
The aircraft was made safe and then the passengers were disembarked and bused back to the terminal, no big deal.
The passengers carried thier hand luggage off the aircraft as normal, and the majority claimed there bags as normal, they were certainly not forced to leave thier luggage! Passengers were given the option of having their luggage delivered to avoid the wait, under the circumstances.
The plane remained on the runway for about 4 hours, after 2 hours the runway re-opened at a reduced length with the A320 still in situe.
The plane resumed normal service the following day after repacment parts were flown in. In the mean time BRS's Skyservice was used to operate the routes.
This information is only what I have gathered from the eyewittness accounts of airport staff and subsequent rumors.
