Bangkok incident 24/10??
Was flying over VTBD about 0230Z yesterday and they were using 03, which is a little unusual (only ever landed on 21 in past 5yrs) so had a listen to the ATIS. Sounded if last hi-speed exit on 21R was blocked at the intersection of Taxiways C and R due to a "disabled A/C". We couldn't see due to cloud cover, anybody got anymore info on this?

Pardon my aircraft recognition if it is slightly off, but down at the cargo ramp there was an El Al (I think) B747 in a most undignified posture, and it was blocking taxiway C. I took off on 21R though, so no bother at all to runway ops. The El Al bird looked as if the nosegear had not had a good morning, but then when I went by I was in the climb so I may be mistaken. Not a good week for B747 freighters, as there was a KL flight off the taxiway into the ditch in Penang late last week.
