    British_Airways_flight_038_tra­ffic_control_video,_17_Jan_200­8

    Above is the Traffic controller during. Amazing work. Wikileaks ftw Thumbs up?

  • Your vid is a favorite on Luanda

  • For those of you who have not heard the ATC recordings check video responce above.

  • There they go again, spreading false info again!!! They didn't declare an emergency untill 2 seconds before they hit the grass therefore it isn't an emergency landing. An emergency landing is when something happens in flight and you say we need to land now we are in an emergency, that becomes a emergency landing. They close runways in an emergency landing, in this case it was still in active service untill last minute the ATC had to stop the next plane from landing.

  • Comment removed

  • am i the only one think this plane is made of a paper board?

  • @Werkea Yes you are, a $225 Million dollar jet doesn't sound CHEAP to make!!!

  • i never seen a 777 crash

    very safe plane

  • Dude, didn't Boeing have to rip out the 777's fuel system to find out why the heat exchanger didn't melt the big-ass iceball in the fuckin pipe?!?!?!?

  • who gives a friggin shit about the prime minister?!

  • See, a DC 10 would just turn into a fireball!

  • who cares of prime minister?!.. shit...

  • why are there so many ''likes'' are you happy that this aircraft could have easily caught fire and exploded ?

  • I'm sure there was more than one set of skid marks after that fight !!

  • Oooh! The fucking prime minister was delayed! Wuh... I'm sure they were cleared shortly after it crashed. Probably on a different runway.

  • Ice on the fuel filters is what we herd at boeing

  • you can see this aircraft on google earth, it is stored where the BA 747 at 54 seconds is parked.

  • thats written off that wont be flying again

  • crash slides! i always get a bit wierd and squirmy when i watch the safety video things.

  • the aricraft's tail has been removed and the rest of the plane has been moved to a unused area of Heathrow.

  • The crew on this flight was very intelligent. I'm currently listening to an AVWeb podcast in which they have an interview with the captain. He had over 8,000 hours on the 777 alone which is amazing.

  • England should have known..

  • Is that airplane flying today?

  • i'm sure it is, it's fairly new....

  • @sdnmans The plane has been scrapped/broken up after the incident.

  • The crash report was published recently. It stated that the crash was due to ice forming in the fuel lines and starving the engines of fuel.

  • I was working in the airport that day and as staff were waiting to board the buses from staff carpark and the plane barely skimmed the fence - a second earlier and it would have come down IN the staff carpark - 2 seconds earlier and it would have been in Hatton cross station and/or the BP petrol station. Brilliant last minute work by the first officer.

  • imagine you saw that plane coming in as you were driving on the motorway, you just be like...SHIT!!!!

  • Lucky!

  • you hope to push that aircraft? goodluck pushing it to the gates, its a boeing 777 200, and its very heavy to push.

  • as i said it ran out of fuel

  • Well your statement is wrong .. As this landing proved...

  • wrong for THIS landing ya your right.

  • dude, u are being ignorant.

  • its true do m8.

  • lucky

  • Is that a triple seven?

  • yes it is. contaminated fuel did not allow the piltos to add power as they came in on final..resulted in what you see

  • yes

  • shit minor injuries

  • it says emergancy landing at the very begging but it was a crash landing the pilots did'nt know they would crash it happend due to ice building up in the engine

  • fuckin hell, this was bad, remember watching this on the news! How did only a few people get hurt, u would have thought it to have been a lot more!

  • its called a seatbelt retard

  • Can you risk flying Trent 800 after the problems with the fuel/oil heat exchanger? Two major mishaps 2008. Delta and BA, in which the latter crashed at Heathrow.

  • Can't we all just get along?

    Woop

    Woop!!

  • Never!

  • You should come out of the closet pal. Your guilt of being queer is making you extremely hostile!!!

  • Good Job!

    One thing I read in a previous comment about emergency exits. When you are flying 35,000 Feet, Emergency exits are sort of pointless. You have a choice of a quick death when the plane explodes in Mid Air or A Long Terrifying death as you plumet 10 Miles to the ground

  • What about engine failure/fuel exhaustion at 35,000 feet? Any competent flight crew will be able to make some sort of a landing and the emergency exits will be useful.

  • Thumps Up for the Pilots!They really tried their best to saved the lifes of the passengers

  • plenty people care

  • As a F/A, job well done to have eveyone out and safe..so next time you board a flight, listen to what WE have to say about your safety on board...remember your nearest exit may be behind you or in front...

  • stop making such stupid racist statements!!!

  • RIP G-YMMM :(

    Wuv Ywou lol

  • cool!

  • WHEN HAPPEND THIS??? :o

  • watch the video. its a boeing 777

  • Everyone Survived, thats why i was happy when i heard it, VERY Professional pilots

  • written off?

  • That was some major decelleration.

  • O.o

  • :o R.I.P a AIR  xD

  • I was in the airport, and my flight was delayed 4 hours... luckly it was an international flight!

    Europeen flights were Cancelled!!!

  • Miscalculated fuel?

  • A significant amount of fuel was on board, as per reports.

  • Wow! my favorite airplane Boeing 777s first accident! Plane from LOST

  • Seeing as how the F-16 is the Falcon and NOT the Viper...I don't see how I could take your comments seriously.

  • Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", straight from wiki

  • funny i thought it was a boeing 737 my mistake it boeing 777 lol

  • This aircraft? It is a B777! Not even close to an A300!

  • ooooooooooooh rite didnt listen lol

  • yes it's a boeing 777

  • Listen to the vid, it's a Boeing 777

  • BA doesn't operate A300, wait do they operate any airbuses? only the A320 family sit down and shut up

  • nobody died :)

  • Should have put another fivers worth in

  • I think it was computer failure these RR engines are very very good and were working perfectly well

  • I think so too because the engines did not respond to thrust input. I like the Rolls'

  • NOTHING TO DO WITH FUEL! Why isnt there any footage of the actual crash? That is what is on my mind. Heathrow is the busiest airport in the world, it is hard to believe their was no camera facing the area of the accident!!

  • BA must give the uk a report.....

    People another lie has been covered up!

    That plane fell due too lack of fuel.

    Lack of Fuel! Lack Of Fuel! Lack Of Fuel!

    B.A. Cutbacks on rising fuel costs!

    people think

    1 min from runway mmmmmm two engines....

  • who the fuck cares about the primeminister.People are injured people!!

  • excellent piloting

  • ROFL (smoggy)

  • Why do they get all these bloody people on the news who dont no what the fuck they are talking about?

  • I did watch it on T.V. the day of...My point was...who cares about a media plug of the Prime Minister being delayed on a flight for one day,when there was an airline crash at heathrow affecting many other lives!

  • I agree, a plane f'ing crashed and they are talking about some prime minister being delayed. Who gives a damn?!? "pictures tell their own story" - NO SHIT - YOU obviously can't tell the story dumb ass!

  • Exactly!!!! WHO gives a damn about him being delayed

  • same here and if the priminester fucken died i wouldnt give a shit either

  • Yeah, if he was actually on board, then they have a reason to be concerned about him. But he wasn't affected other than being late. Boohoo! Big important person is a little pissy because he's late.

    All the media cares about is the famous people, I swear Dx

  • Who the fuck gives a shit about weather or not the Prime Minister can fly out of the airport that day....DID ANYONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT ON THIS FLIGHT!!!!!..............FUCKI­N media moguls

  • 3 miner injeries  watch it

  • I fly both A320 and Boeing 717 as a flight attendant.

    Yeah, you dont feel safe flying A320. Boeing's far better!!

  • no wonder ur only a flight attendant.. u must know a lot about both aircraft.. technically speaking i mean..not serving coffee and tea.. unless u actually know what ur talking I wouldnt come to you tube and influence people based on ur ignorant opinion. no offence there

  • thats true. Almost every flight attendant in my company say that !!!

  • you dont sound intelligent because you dont give any real examples. you sound like a superstitious grandmother

  • to UserAlphaOmega - I got it even if little marky did'nt. childish but made me chuckle

  • SKID MARKS??! of course their where it was a scary event.

  • haha skid marks

  • The safest place to be in an incident like this is on the toilet in the crash position!

  • that would have crashed into my town (feltham) if it didnt make it. how lucky was that!

  • lol, very

  • I thought B A was terified of flying!! "i aint flyin on no plane fool"

  • lol

  • teehee

  • ha ha. i like it. now quit your jibba jabba!

  • you know you people who are bigging up the airbus are mad,what a terrible aircraft! i would fly on a 777 anyday long haul quieter,more comfatable,more room generally a nicer plane altogether!

  • Yeah quieter...you must be partially deaf to think that. Comfort depends on the airline not the plane.

  • The captain and the crew will have quite a story to tell their grandkids, thats for sure! They did an amazing job, God Bless them!!

  • Personaly i think airbus is more reliable ,It has a cleaner slate and almost every airbus works by using a Fly-by-wire system and it shows how big a difference it makes ,Sadly the 737 family has killed more than all of Airbus put together. Though id still fly BA.

  • As to the 737 comment, Boeing has sold more 737's than the entire Airbus line combine. so its simple math. I'd still fly BA too! They rank #3 behind FedEx #2, and Qantas #1 in terms of safety. As an Aerospace Engineer i speek of facts. 92% of crashes are cause by the pilot or a maintenance issue. Airbus and Boeing both make excellent planes

  • Mabye so but id much prefer airbus ,the fly by wire systems are more reliable and i tend to find airbus's are more comfortable and look nicer

  • FACT: Planes with FBW controls are no more reliable than conventional, thats why the 777FBW controls can be disengaged by the pilot, whereas the airbus cannot, so in a dire emergency situation, the boeing will have better manuverability. And 76% of travelers worldwide prefer Boeing. I do however prefer an A320 family over a 737 as far as comfort, but the 777 is the 2nd most comfy in the sky next to an A380

  • mmm yer maybe so but when all of the hydraulic reservoirs leak due to say something hitting the tail or wings then hydraulic systems arent going to be that reliable are they. FBW responds faster too.

  • Yes they can, its called Alpha floor protection and it can be disengaged. Don't know where you get your screwed stats that 76% would prefer a Boeing, thats BS, most people don't know or care about the plane they're flying on whether its Airbus or Boeing as long as it gets them there safe. leave it to a Boeing fanboy to make up nonsense like this.

  • ILMOA!! So I was off a little with the figures. First of all I think I know a little more about planes than you do. After all, I engineer them for a living. Obviously comfort is airline taylored, but the point is that in several surveys 777's were perferred over A330's is all I was saying. And the point is that Boeing has sold almost as many 737's as Airbus has their entire line! So what if i'm off a little! And it was for 76% of people who responded to the survey! I like Boeing Fanboy! Thanks!

  • Boeing has sold 7,000= 737's while Airbus's entire product line has sold 8,000+(if you don't believe me check the figures yourself), the last time i checked, 8,000 was a lot more than 7,000. Surveys mean nothing neither does it help sales, i also read a survey where most passengers preferred the A340 to the 777 cus it was quieter but yet the 777 outsold the A340, so whats the point of surveys. Another case where fanboyism gets in the way of common sense

  • Wrong check the Boeing website yourself, Boeing has sold 7,000+ 737's while Airbus's entire product line has sold past 8,000.

  • Once again it shows that if you fly British you are safe from death. However if you fly Garuda,Pam Am, American airlines, Thai, or for that matter any foriegn airline you r risking death as soon as you step on board. Remember always fly british !!!!!!!!!

  • If people are used to watching horror movies, flying british would be a choice to consider

  • nooooooo!!! Boeing 777

  • He could not be an engineer hehehe.

    It's more possible the moon go out of orbit than this

  • i have nothing to say.

  • captain is a hero!

    WELL DONE TO HIM!

    HIP HIP...

    HORAY!

  • aparently they found empty cans of carlsburg in the cockpit,they most hav been bananas drunk

  • Pilot is a legend. The plane lost all power and he still managed 2 land it pretty well and saved hundreds of lifes doing so

  • greenrots

    that is terrible because people could have died and some were terribly injured- if the pilot was drunk how did he save everyone- you are very rude

  • yeah being a pilot i get pissed if i save lifes too, shut up

  • Sorry I don't know the details of this crash what excatly happened?

  • no1 hid your comment people just dislike it and gave it thumbs down. after 5 thumbs down it automatically get hidden

  • Maybe a new literal meaning for COCKpit then.

    Nah jokes pilot did very well indeed.

  • ahh Im going on a plane to London stanstead on wed!! but I have to say the captain desearves a medal, he reduced the speed and the staff kept everyone calm and they got everyoen out and the fact he landed on grass helped.

  • Captain is a hero!!! all the staff shud get a huge bonus!!!!!!

  • Well done to the captain - that could have been SO much worse. Makes you proud to be british eh!

  • This was nothing to do with the Captain and his senior First officer. It is still not certain but the most likley cause is a problem with the computers. First officer Coward completed the approach but he had co-operation from the captain. The 777 has a clean slate until now ,They two most likly causes are either Problems with the computer or Fuel contamination.

  • My parents and my sister were supposed to fly soetime soon on BA from London. I hope they weren't the three injuries.

  • fare play to the captain, much respect to him, he must have kept his cool to be able to do such a dodgey landing

  • That's your better off flying United Airlines.

  • Good video!

  • That plane is now officially the world's largest paperweight

  • I sometimes land like this on my flight sim. They walked away so it was a good landing.

  • The comments here are pretty funny!

  • All you people sound so full of shit it hurts making me laugh so hard.

  • 77 is trying to scare us with the same old tired doomsday bullshit I have heard for so long now they better shit or get off the pot.

  • You'll have to come up with better scary stories than that. Shit they come up with better ones than that on a bad night on George Noory's radio show! In fact they got us ALL being dead by 2012 AD because "the Mayan Calender says so" wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

  • LMAO!

  • or perhaps American xenophobia !

  • If you only knew how many people die on the highways EVERY single year, you would still rather fly..........

  • go fuck yourself you ignorant piece of shit. Im guessing you haven't got the slightest clue of what Islam preaches or practices. You probably have no idea about anything in this world, you ignorant hick. And if you are thinkin about converting (and i do, realise that you were trying to make a stupid lame joke), we wouldnt want you. You must be either a redneck american or George Bush himself.

  • I lived in Turkey long enough to know all about it and even that some people in that religion will wear the same pants for a WEEK for one week out of the year and shit in them for that entire week. Then they sift through their shit looking for some holy egg or whatever looking for Mohammad! It was gross to see flies buzzing around their asses all that week I am telling you.

  • I shmell shenanigans.

  • o yea??? so what you said doesnt happen in USA?? i am from turkey and i have been living in CA for two years.. and i have seen some disgusting things that i could never imagine. what do you think about this?? all people live in USA are the same??

  • I know like how the gay people dip each others fudge! That is disgusting!!!

  • Poodles, you're amerikan...what's it like when you travel and other nationals want to jerk you around including Canadians? I mean, I travelled all over the world and when I wear the Canadian badge I do so to distinquish myself from your kind. Mexicans hate you, Greeks, Canadians, the netherlands...even Americans - I have 2 families who moved from Californa - they HATE America. They will renounce their citizenship shortly.

  • what is it like to walk around with hate, I walk around with love in my heart to other peoples.

  • Some people need a lesson in humility...I don't hate, I set people straight. When your house is on fire, you don't point at the misfortune of the homeless man and laugh...you ask him to get closer to get a bit warm.

  • ...2008 will bring America to it's knees and the humility that it will bring to it's people will actuallly be a good soul cleansing experience. I've pulled all my investments 3 years ago. America is in deep deep shit. That smug look will disapear. Deservedly...I am harsh but look listen to it's people talk...this is Amerika!! Wow!

  • 7789902---your gay lover probably brings YOU to YOUR knees every night aye???

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahaha!!!!
