Brand NEW! 2011 - Air Crash Investigation - Heathrow Crash Landing - BA Flight 38 (FULL)

Subscribe , rate , comment!! And Enjoy! (ACI 2011 Ep 2) (Full & HD)
On 17 January 2008, during short final both British Airways Flight 38's engines rolled back to idle. The Captain raises the flaps which gives them a few more feet of flying time. The aircraft passes over the A30 road and crashes just short of the runway. There were no fatalities, but 47 people sustained injuries. The fuel flow to both engines was restricted because of ice crystals causing a blockage in the fuel-oil heat exchangers (FOHE). Another similar incident happened On November 26, 2008 when Delta Air Lines Flight 18's engines also rolled back to idle at 39,000 feet. That plane landed safely in Atlanta.

Please comment.... Give me thumbs I got no thumbs :(

An outstanding example of how a very vital rule used by soaring pilots saying that raising the flaps would reduce drag and therefore increase glide ratio, combined with an exceptional quote saying "whatever is left, however improbable, must be the cause" can make the difference in saving the day and and solving the mystery. Reminds me of another memorable quote that has them both in the same phrase: "if flying were the language of men, soaring would be its poetry". My respect for capt. Burkill.

lol 13:08 "what on EARTH happened...?"

[normanjtongmd]

A negative pressure in the fuel tanks or obstruction of a fuel tank vent that allows air to replace the fuel discharged from the tanks could stop the flow of fuel to the engines....right?

@syedN07 keep posting more nat geo documentaries thank you! and make a play list please thank you!!!

@dunbar9finger From Wiki: Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear in particulate form. As an aircraft gains altitude, the temperature drops and Jet fuel's capacity to hold water is diminished. Particulate water can separate out and could become a serious problem if it freezes in fuel lines or filters, blocking the flow of fuel and shutting down an engine.

[dunbar9finger]

They never explain how the ice got in there in the first place. Earlier they explained that it wasn't frozen fuel, as that required colder temperatures than they had, so by "ice" I assume they mean H2O.  So the question is, HOW dod water get into the fuel line in the first place? I don't understand that part.

The captain is everything I like about British aviation.
