SY 16R and 25 Not Avail...
Anyone got any info on Saturday evenings closure of RWY 16R and 25 due to RWY damage at the intersection??? 
Heard about the closure of the runways on centre frequency when a QF 767 was advised that only 16R would be available for its arrival... heard later that maybe there was an incident involving a 737.

Heard a rumour - smoke from nosewheel area on takeoff, warned by Tower. Hit the anchors (and this is where I'm not sure it's believable) ground looped coming to a rest on 07 facing South, debris spattered over both runways.

I think you will find it was a take-off incident on 16r, eventually coming to rest blocking 07/25 (Murphy was there) reason; not sure, but would be interested to know. Also it was PB not VB.
