Attalus as the man said...they had been fighting for quite a while and Gandalf himself laid down and died after the fight...I doubt the thing could have summoned the strength to fly.
I read that link and the debators are making concessions that I would not. As written JRRT litterally said this Balrog had wings...either you accept that or you accept that while being so careful and precise in the rest of the book, he got sloppy here...I don't think so.
Of course we will never know since the source of the material is dead....I suppose we could ask his heirs....that at least would be a semi-official ruling..therwise its all mere speculation [img]smile.gif[/img]
