The guy was there. He is stating what he saw and heard. What's wrong with that? While not quoted directly it sounds as though he has heard someone say something about seeing "hundreds of little bits of shredded tyre". Being that the airport is a restricted area I think it is safe to say that whoever made the comment has some idea of whats going on and it hasn't come from Joe Bloggs walking his dog down the runway. On the other hand if he (Tim) did make it up then I'm sure he would fit in really well at somewhere like The Daily Telegraph.
Tim, maybe if you can recall who made the statement about the shredded tyre some of the doubters here may know this person and can challenge "them" as to what they saw.
