34 Seconds to Touch Down

from Plane Tales

We have recently been listening to Adam Spink describe the sight of a Boeing 777 crash on the threshold of runway 27L at Heathrow airport whilst he was the Air Traffic supervisor in the tower. On this tale we look at the technical reasons for why BA38 lost power on its approach. Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to the NTSB.
