Aeroplane 'On Fire' Flying Over London by mamikky: 12:38pm On May 24, 2013 |
A plane was "on fire" flying over central London an eyewitness has said. One person told Sky News: "As you looked up you could just see the flames being chucked out of the engine ... It was on full fire when we saw it." Both runways were shut at Heathrow Airport where the British Airways aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing due to an "aircraft fire." The incident is not thought to be terror related and all passengers are safe. A statement from British Airways said: "The BA762, Heathrow to Oslo service, returned back to Heathrow shortly after take-off due to a technical fault. "The Airbus A319 aircraft was carrying 75 customers. The aircraft landed safely and emergency slides were deployed and we are currently caring for our customers. "Emergency services attended the aircraft. We will be carrying out a full investigation into the incident." One picture shared on Twitter appears to show the engine that was not on fire exposed as it is overworked. London Fire Brigade crew have said they believe that the fire is now out. There is speculation that the plane had run into a flock of birds. The plane landed on the northern runway which remains shut but the southern runway has now been reopened. http://news.sky.com/story/1095039/plane-on-fire-flying-over-central-london http://www.naijapundit.com/news/breaking-news-aeroplane-on-fire-flying-over-central-london 1 Like 1 Share |

The landed safely... Good job to them. Had it been in Nigeria, the story would have changed (DANA comes to mind). They would have been roasting by now. |

Well thank God no casualties were recorded. This clearly shows that engines do develop issues irrespective of country. If this were to be Nigerian, some key board happy Dudes would have latched out at the Country in general and GEJ in particular. While I don't hold brief for GEJ nor support ineptitude in anyway, we should also admit that as a country we are making progress albeit slowly. By the way LONDON...again....*lipsealed* 4 Likes |
