According to the Dutch news, a KLM Fokker F-100 (just?) ran into trouble at manchester airport. It looks as if a fire started in the lavatories while rolling towards the runway. Passengers were evacuated via the emergency exits and some of them were wounded. That’s all known so far.

RE: KLM F-100 in trouble
I been browsing BBC News for other Fokker 100 incidents and came across one from 3 November 2000.
It was a Gill Airways flight from NCL to CDG and something at the rear of the aircraft froze up. The captain asked all passengers to move to the front of the aircraft to help him land it…!!
The aircraft has since been withdrawn from service.
