An ignorant question... it doesn't look like there was an emergency evacuation (no slides). Is that normal in an incident like this?
Or is it better to keep everyone in their seats if there is no imminent danger?

According to NOTAM C5926/23 the airport closed until 0100 BST Saturday. At this early stage this may be a bit optimistic, unless removal equipment, including that needed to make a temporary stable surface to get the aircraft back onto the asphalt, is readily available.

Apparently it’s just “moved off” the runway. Best not use any stronger language such as “skidded off” or “departed from” so as not to frighten the kids…
Hopefully no injuries other than to trousers.

That's as it may be, the problem is what it "moved off" into, very soft ground?
Looks like a G/A on 14, and possibly one on 32 as well…
