"Six engines were at the scene of the incident." The Airbus must have a maximum of four engines. Engine smugglers :confused::lol1:

According to Sky news it's a Boeing 777 not an Airbus. Good that everyone got out ok. :)

It is a Boeing 777. Only 2 engines, although they are big ones :D

Boeing 777 not an airbus from BA website. [edit.. damnit.. ;) ]
Nice to see that the main concern is that the PM's planes been delayed rather than if everyone is okay. Good old BBC..... |
aye, it's an engine alright :D
|
A passenger from China said the landing was wheelie bad.
|
So how the hell do they now move it so they can re-open both runways?
A 777 with no wheels? A couple of trolly jacks aren't going to sort that baby out :D |
This is odd.
I work in Colnbrook and we have jsut said how quiet the planes are today!!! Steve |

Having landed short of the runway, if there is a significant lip at the beginning of the runway, the wheels would not climb over it so the wheels would suffer the full horizontal inertia of the aircrat and the undercarriage legs will just break off or collapse.
This happened years ago to a Vulcan at Malta in severe crosswinds and turbulence. The undercarriage was severely damaged and the pilot managed to get airborns again. One of the wings was on fire because of damage and the aircraft exploded. Only the two pilots escaped with their lives by ejecting. Les :( |
