Isn't this what you are supposed to do after landing.:p

Or has KLM different SOP's than most airlines about what to do after landing. :E

(Like: park it on the runway.)

Hell of a parking though!!

It looked pretty serious.

Wonder if it will ever fly again.

And here

The contribution from 'spacecadet' on the thread reached from the link above is a classic!

Them there slides were a lot of use... but if no-one was injured who´s to complain?

Perhaps, in view of this and the recent MyTravel incident, along with the programme to decrease the number of runway incursions the CAA should run a parallel programme to decrease the number of runway excursions.:O

Gosh.....Isn't the weather nice in BCN

A source within KLM E&M tells me the BTC will likely not fly again. Ever. :(
