Like I said, the plane declaring an emergency lands, and then the emergency vehicles follow it down the runway. The pilot chooses what happens next, sitting at the end of the runway for a little while is not unusual.

Is it just me or does it look like the outboard tire on the port-side gear was gone? If that tire disintegrated during takeoff, that would explain the problem.
