Question

Can there be a STANDARD O.P. (S.O.P.) to a non-standard event??

I landed one night at Manchester, in a light twin (PA31). Controller saw my navigation lights turning off the runway - used "anticipated seperation" to clear Birdseed123 for departure - my right brake seized and the aircraft spun round...back onto the runway in front of a 737 that was just commencing its take off roll.

I shouted "Birdseed - abandon take off" on the R/T, (actually didn't get his flight number - just the Company).

How would you expect ATC to handle it???

All controller efforts were put into a sudden string of "go around"s.
