As long as it has a wing and wind is there .. it will fly

Ohhh..... so much ZEN .. I've found my inner peace

The crew managed to control the descent to a touchdown with wings level, on grass just over the perimeter fence at Heathrow, on the 27L extended centreline. The gear was down, flaps were set at about 20°, and the indications are that the crew had started the auxiliary power unit.

On touchdown the 777's gear dug into the soft ground and separated. The aircraft came to rest at the threshold of runway 27L having made a short ground run of about 350m (1,150ft), probably because at touchdown the aircraft was close to its stalling speed.

When the main gear separated it caused considerable damage to the engines and the wings near the wing-root trailing edge.

The weather at Heathrow at the time was wind from 220° at 16kt (30km/h), broken cloud at 1,400ft (426m) and 2,000ft, temperature 11°C, dew point 9°C, with a warning that the wind might vary temporarily to 240° at 20kt, gusting to 32kt. The visibility was greater than 10km (6.2 miles).

Airport operator BAA says the aircraft (G-YMMM) made an emergency landing, but it is not clear whether that statement is a description of the crash landing or an affirmation that the crew had declared an emergency. BA is unable to say whether the crew had declared an emergency before touchdown.

Almost all the passengers who have commented since the accident say the approach felt normal and the crew did not provide any warnings, but the touchdown was hard and the evacuation was uneventful and took a short time. There was no fire. There were 136 passengers, three flightdeck crew and 13 cabin crew on board, the airline confirms.

Heathrow's southern runway, 09R/27L, has been closed, but the northern runway is still in operation.
