Or simply a long landing with the pilot realizing there wasn't enough runway left to stop.
Climb angles are deceiving to passengers. I guarantee it wasn't 45 degrees, more like half that or less.
I've just recalled that, as we left the plane, announcements were being made to passengers at the gate saying the outgoing flight on our plane was being delayed due to technical problems with the aircraft. Might that indicate a problem with the actual aircraft, or is it likely that's just a standard announcement and they were just checking the plane over?
No, that's not standard. Sounds like there was some caution warning during the rollout for which the procedure is to abort the landing. Software probably needed a reboot.
