Heathrow closed? With 2 parallel runways? According to everywhere I've read so far, operations are running on 9L/27R while they're working on getting the emergency cleaned up..
BL.

"The runway was initially closed, but reopened later to take-offs only. The north runway remained open throughout the incident." - BBC website.
But still, I can imagine what the delays are like. There's a hella lot of diversions and cancellations.

I know very well that UK ATC recordings aren't allowed, but I'm sure someone has them somewhere.
If anybody has any recordings, could they email me them? (chris_z99[at]hotmail.com)
I'd really appreciate it and would love hear them :)
ps. I won't tell any one :P

And if by some SHEER LUCK you come across it, be sure to share and post it to the 'ATC/Aviation Audio Clips' section of this forum. :)

The video from a CNN affiliate gives a pretty good overview of the a/c damage. It's the video associated with the story "Crash passenger: We just dropped"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Washington, DC - The National Transportation Safety Board has dispatched a team of investigators to assist the government of the United Kingdom in its investigation of today's accident in which a British Airways Boeing 777-236ER landed short of runway 27 Left at Heathrow International Airport in London, England.
The accident occurred at 12:42 p.m. local time. The passengers deplaned via the emergency slides; minor injuries were reported.
NTSB Chairman Mark V. Rosenker has designated investigator Bill English as the U.S. Accredited Representative. An aviation systems technical specialist and a powerplants technical specialist will accompany him. The Federal Aviation Administration and the Boeing Aircraft Company are also sending investigators as part of the team.
The UK Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is leading the investigation and will release all information on its progress.

"The BBC said an unidentified Heathrow worker told the broadcaster that he had spoken to the pilot. The pilot said, according to the worker, that the plane's electronics had failed and that he was forced to glide it to the ground"[/i]

The first official report points to an engine failure:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/7196945.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/7196945.stm)
At approximately 600ft and two miles from touch down, the autothrottle demanded an increase in thrust from the two engines, but the engines did not respond.
Following further demands for increased thrust from the autothrottle, and subsequently the flight crew moving the throttle levers, the engines similarly failed to respond.

Could there be a problem that is only coming to light?
