According to BBC News: "Passengers have been led to safety after a jet landed short of the runway at Heathrow Airport.The plane was a British Airways flight BA38 from Beijing to London, the airline said. "It is not clear if anyone has been injured during the incident. Emergency services are currently at the scene. "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. "His jet was not directly involved. "Six engines were at the scene of the incident. " Well at least it didn't try7 to land on the A$ like another plane tried to do so some years ago or on Chiswick High Road. However this incident emphasise the danger of being under the flightpath and in particular, the flightpath of proposed Runaway 3. I wonder whose in charge of the country now that Gordon Brown is away ? Harriet Harperson is Deputy Leader of the Labour Party but not Deputy Prime Minister. Gordon Brown is such a control freak he didn't appoint a Deputy.Maybe he will bring one back from India or China. |
