BA38 / Heathrow

British Airways Flight 38 was on final approach into London Heathrow Airport when it crashed just short of the runway on 17 January 2008. What had been an uneventful passenger flight from Beijing, China, soon turned almost fatal just moments before landing when a lack of power to both engines caused the Boeing 777 to crash. The quick thinking by the crew led by Captain Peter Burkill prevented the incident from being fatal and saved all 152 people on board. This episode includes one survivor’s account of the terrifying touchdown.
