411A,
The PIA a/c in question landed 06L. The "Beer Garden" is at 24R Threshhold
.
I
know the ATCO involved and "some" of the facts,
BUT as NF01 says. Let's wait for the report.
As an aside, I've worked in Manch Tower since 1970
and have watched many MANY B747s of
all marks and only one has the heart fluttering on departure.......and it's not Air Atlanta.
So until you have
ALL the facts [including the pup] I would be like Dad, keep Mum.
But.....
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy
