Depending on where the 747 was, it could take a minute or more to get it off
the runway. There's a lot of mass involved. Plus, you may have taxiways
that are clogged with other traffic. 747s don't make good off road
vehicles.

Was there a fully laden 747 on the runway that couldn't be moved in time?
There's _never_ a fully-laden 747 that can't be moved in time, unless it
is
chained to ring bolts in the concrete of the runway. A 747 can be out of
the
way in seconds.
