jamesmark Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 With the landing looks like the pilot of the plane landed in the right spot, I shudder to think what would have happened if he actually landed on the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have just come back. Went over and had a quick look, looks like it dropped down just after the fence, skidded along the grass and then turned sharply at the beginning of the runway. Front wheel looks ok but couldnt see the back wheels, the area where it dug in would suggest they were also down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where do you get that info from, i have worked on 777s as a engineer for nearly 8 years and is probably the most reliable and safe aircraft in the sky And Gaz no i work for American not BA but Tucky40 is a first officer for them on 777s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
