It's early yet. there will be more info as the weeks pass, but the
final report will tell the tale.


According to a BBC report I heard on the way home tonight (it's the
BBC, so it *must* be true!), the pilot (the Captain wasn't flying at
the time apparently) reported that the engines didn't respond to the
demand or thrust, so they're calling it 'engine failure'.

Like I say, that's the initial report (and via a news agency, so
might need to be taken with a pinch of salt).

Sounds like some design flaw thats emerging after 10 years of service.
Can't wait for those 787s to age and require new glue to seal the
"composite" joints. Being London, can't rule out islamo-fascists.....


Yeah, must be one of those things...


Fjukkwit.
