For those who dont know : British Airways Flight 38 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China, to Heathrow Airport in London, United Kingdom, an 8,100-kilometre (4,400 nmi; 5,000 mi) trip. On 17 January 2008, the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, which crash-landed short of runway 27L at Heathrow, touched down hard on the grass undershoot, breaking off the landing gear and skidding across the turf infield before sliding to the right of the threshold, 330 metres from its initial impact point.[1][2][3] Of the 152 people on board, no fatalities resulted, but 47 people were injured, 1 of them seriously.[4] The extensively crippled aircraft (registered as G-YMMM), which sustained heavy damage to both engines, both wing roots, wing-to-body fairing, flaps, right-hand horizontal stabiliser's leading edge, fuel tanks (which were punctured by the gear breaking off) as well as the lower fuselage belly from the ground slide, was written off as a result, becoming the first hull loss of a Boeing 777.
