Believe it was sa422,b737 from P.E.
Heard the chaos on 121.9,there were some pretty long delays for departure and 21L had to be closed for a number of hours while the maintenance guys checked for damage/leaked hydraulic fluid.
i believe they didnt evacuate,but were accompanied by a F.T. to the gate.
would love to get first hand details though,as i only overheard the chaos.

I believe it was a B737-800 running off the r/w on 03R - the runway was closed until about 09h30 local this am. Rumour has it that they took out some r/w lights and had some gear damage, apparantly loss of directional ctrl and exiting the r/w before the intended turnoff.
