Martinair 747 at Schiphol
What happened with the Martinair 747 cargo on 36R at Amsterdam yesterday evening? Looked like some type of emergency with all the equipment in attendance.

It was PH-MPQ, one of Martinair's B747-400BCF's.
Aircraft came from Sharjah, UAE and burst a tire on take-off. Later on the crew was informed of this by ATC. They obviously elected to continue to their destination.
Precautionary landing was made on dedicated runway, with the emergency services standing by. They didn't vacate the runway immediately to get the guys to do an external inspection.
Turns out the tireburst caused quite some damage to the belly fairings etc, aircraft is currently still in the hangar awaiting spare parts...
