Thank God, amongst other factors, for the skill of the pilots and the
strength of the B777.
"Aviation expert Kieran Daly, from Flight International magazine, said
not a single Boeing 777 had been lost in a crash since the aircraft
was launched in 1995."
"London Heathrow shut" No it wasn't
"The runway was initially closed, but reopened later to take-offs
only. The north runway remained open throughout the incident."
A bit sloppy on the "reporting" hey Ned.
Apart from the gentle jibes Ned, thanks for the info and the link.
Regards
James
