Here's the human translation for you guys :ok:
SCHIPHOL - A Boeing 747 of cargo airline Polar Air Cargo is currently blocking the "Polderbaan" (36L) at Schiphol airport. The aircraft aborted its take-off this afternoon around 2pm, which caused several tires to burst. It is still unknown how long the runway will remain blocked.
According to a Schiphol Group representative, the damage to the landing gear makes the aircraft impossible to tow. The damaged tires will have to be replaced before moving the aircraft from the runway. Damaged runway lighting will also have to be replaced.
Although 36L is currently closed, there are no reported delays as departing aircraft are now using different runways.

The aircraft had 2 body gear tires fail prior to V1. It was heavy and aborted at 135 knots. Only damage was some messed up tires and 3 sets of shorts.
Good job:ok:
