Londra, aereo tocca terra prima della pista
- Autore Discussione billie-joe
- Data d'inizio
Sto osservando in diretta dalla BBC..vedo l'aereo che ha toccato 350-400 metri prima della soglia..le tracce sono evidenti..L'aereo e fermo sul pettine 27L a 45 gradi vedo la gamba del carrello SX che squarciando l'attacco posteriore dell'ala SX fuoriesci dalla medesima dopo aver sbriciolato il flaps il motore SX non si vede mentre e visibile il motore DX....Mi viene subito da pensare..come ha fatto a fermarsi in 400 metri anche se il carrello ha ceduto???? A che velocita' ha toccato??

Dalle immagini gli è andata molto bene...il carrello conficcato nell'ala o qualche sfregamento sulla pista potevano causare un incendio; il carrello poteva sfondare il lato della carlinga. Per fortuna, essendo a fine volo, c'era poco carburante a bordo.

Airliner crash lands at Heathrow
The BA flight crash-landed at Heathrow Airport

An international passenger plane has crash landed short of the runway at Heathrow Airport.
Passengers escaped down the emergency chutes after British Airways flight BA38 from Beijing came down.
Six ambulances were sent to the scene and three people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The incident happened as Prime Minister Gordon Brown was due to leave Heathrow for China and India. His flight was delayed because of the incident.
The south runway is closed while investigators examine the scene - the north runway remains open.
On its approach it took the runway too low, just missing the roof of my cab
John Rowland, eyewitness
Eyewitness John Rowland said: "The plane's wheels collapsed, doors were flown open.
"On its approach it took the runway too low, just missing the roof of my cab.
"It crashed into the runway, debris was flying everywhere, there was an enormous bang and it skidded sideways."
Huge amount of smoke
Another eyewitness, Nick Gray, told BBC News: "We were taxiing along ready to take off and certainly out of the window I could see a plane coming in to land.
"I'm not quite sure if the under carriage was missing or not, but certainly what we saw was the plane coming down.
Heathrow map
"There were some sparks as the undercarriage or the bottom of the plane actually touched the runway - certainly a huge amount of smoke coming up from that.
"And then the plane did come to a halt reasonably quickly.
"It was incredibly efficient the speed that people got off the aircraft.
"I could see that the shoots were deployed very quickly and people were coming down on that.
"Then people were sent off to the nearby buildings which are probably only about 200 yards away from the plane.
"There about six fire engines there now.
"There seems to have been regular dousing of foam on the port engine which obviously probably was the hottest one where the plane landed.
"Certainly there is a lot of activity and lots of vehicles with flashing lights all around the plane."

Londra: atterraggio d'emergenza, 3 feriti lievi
17 Gennaio 2008, 14:43
LONDRA - Tre persone hanno avuto bisogno di assistenza medica per ferite minori in seguito all'atterraggio d'emergenza di un volo British Airways, proveniente da Pechino, all'aeroporto londinese di Heathrow. Lo ha detto il direttore dello scalo. Tutti i passeggeri sono stati evacuati, è stata esclusa la matrice terroristica per l'accaduto. Il velivolo ha subito gravi danni alla parte inferiore della carlinga e alle ali, mancando l'impatto con la pista sud, che ora è chiusa. E' aperta invece la pista nord di Heathrow. (Agr)

Per quello che posso capire un tipo su bbc dice che i motori devono aver avuto un problema, non hanno avuto potenza ....penso di capire che il pilota ha provato a riattaccare ma i motori o un motore non ha dato potenza.....
Complimenti ali assistenti di volo BA per aver gestito in modo egreggio l'emergenza e l'evaquazione.
grazie in particolare a xfast e billie joe per la velocità e l'accuratezza con cui ci state fornendo gli update
