Heathrow Plane Crash - Plane lands short of runway

Video Title :	Heathrow Plane Crash - Plane lands short of runway
Description :	LONDON (AP) — A British Airways passenger jet crash landed short of the runway at Heathrow airport Thursday, wrecking the undercarriage and causing extensive damage to both wings. Three passengers were injured. The plane skidded to a halt on its belly before emergency chutes deployed and all passengers were evacuated. One of the wings was partially torn off. The plane was flight BA38 from Beijing to London, a Boeing 777, British Airways and airport operator BAA PLC said. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, whose plane was awaiting takeoff on the runway for a trip to China, was delayed by the incident. But his aircraft was not involved in the accident. Three passengers had minor injuries, London Ambulance Service said. The aircraft appeared to have landed just yards from a busy perimeter road, Britain's Press Association reported. Fire trucks surrounded the aircraft and emergency evacuation chutes were deployed. The prime minister's plane, which was carrying a delegation made up of business leaders including Virgin chairman Richard Branson, was not involved but those onboard could see the incident in the distance. Planes were still taking off and landing on Heathrow's northern runway, air traffic control company Nats said.

ffs it wasnt the pilot blame fucking boeing as if you hear in the vid it was a mechanical problem

nah i think ur jst bablin shit now, giving up, respectable tho

nope I defniately am not. but still, thanks for the argument lol

c, american pilots r safe. not european or anything else

dude dont make two contenents fight...sheesh

Are you sure? Like SAS is the only Airliner to have no crash records...and Aircrafts from Boeing and Airbus has to expect from SAS to buy their planes, if they do..this means that their planes are declared safe according to SAS standards..and isnt SAS an EUROPEAN Airliner? and has EUROPEAN pilots? what about AA? i think they have more crashes than any other EUROPEAN Airliner

one thing, companies make the planes.k. Pilots FLY the planes. so u cant talk about Boeing and Airbus. And, i hope ur smart enough to know that the US has more Airlines than AA.

Yuh, like its too obvious for us to know that? Its like the Americans is one of the biggest country to fly airplanes, and its like America is the leading country to have the busiest airspace and airports in the world, that even one mistake of of an ATC could bring down several planes out of the sky

Actually the pilot commanded power and the engines did not respond. Current thinking is that its a computer problem.

thats against me, but it works
