You must be talking about Dubai
Out of the UAE controllers (DESDI and BUBIN to your flying types) the Serco guys received the payrise, the GCAA have received nothing

FlightGlobal has a good pic of of the disabled A-310 on the end of 12L.
Fortunately, looks like they stopped just before they went off the end.

A Biman Bangladesh Airlines Airbus A310-300 has been involved in a take-off accident at Dubai International Airport, resulting in a temporary closure of the Gulf airport.
The A310 – one of four operated by the airline, according to Flight’s ACAS database – was operating a service to Dhaka. Some reports suggest the aircraft suffered a tyre burst and/or nose-gear collapse during its take-off roll. Pictures of the accident show that the aircraft appears to have come to rest at the far end of Runway 12L with its nose gear collapsed.
Biman Bangladesh says that its “flight BG006 from Dubai to Dhaka had an accident during departure and failed to take off around 06:30 today. All 236 passengers, including crew, are safe, and were immediately evacuated from the aircraft. Fourteen passengers sustained minor injuries.”
According to the Dubai Department of Civil Aviation, Dubai International Airport is undergoing “an 8h closure starting 06:30, March 12, 2007”.

Apparently, a Dragonair aircraft burst a tire just before Biman's takeoff (newspapers this morning). Anybody got more details?
The other rumor going around is that everybody from ATC has a gag order, as it might have been a local in control at the time.
There is no doubt the official investigation has to do its bit and take its time to find out all the facts. But, I hope this is not another bury-your-head in the sand moment
Maybe one of your ATC chaps like to comment or correct any crap above
