Newcastle Runway Closure

Heard a few diversions had taken place this morning due to aircraft stuck on the runway at Newcastle. Does anyone know what has happened?

Seneca with an engine failure. Don't know why they couldn't drive it.

Wasn't the passengers pushing it off the runway It was the fire crew. A long push too.

Runway only closed for 15 mins or so.
