Interesting: and not wanting to make light of the incident. SAS should be well skilled in such environment, but the apron seems more suited for Torvill & Dean than Boeing. What was the wind, I wonder? The ground vehicles seem OK, but then the would have 'winter snow tyres' & I guess Boeing don't do those.
I wonder what the side load was on the gear. The anti-col light went off just as they stopped. I wonder what they had done to the engines. I'd imagine they'd waited to see where they were when the world stopped rotating. Did they shut down during the pirouette and still have the thought to switch off the anti-col? Cool dudes if they did.
