BBC News reports are saying that the plane lost all power on the approach - and had to glide down to the airport. If correct, and had the problem occurred a few minutes earlier, it would have been gliding into Grove Park. Surely a compelling reason why it is downright stupid to position runways upwind from a major capital city. Adding a third runway, and 50% more traffic, simply increases the risk. |
