British Airways Crash at Heathrow Still Under Investigation

An inquiry revealed that the crash landing of the British Airways was caused by a power failure on Thursday.  Both engines of the jumbo jet were said to have failed to give more power resulting in the plane’s crashing according to British investigators on Friday.  Perhaps the question now is, what caused the power failure?

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch reports that a “significant amount of fuel” leaked after the crash although it was not clear if the fuel was flowing to the engines like it should have.  Experts will investigate if there was something wrong with the fuel itself next, as well as the computer system from which the machine relies heavily on.

The Boeing 777 is damaged beyond repair.

12 passengers on the plane suffered minor injuries, only one was seriously harmed. 

British Airways passengers say that had no idea of the emergency until after it happened.  One passenger, Jerome Ensicnk, said, “It was a very quiet, normal flight.  I didn’t have the feeling we had crashed until we left the plane.  When you look at the plane you realize it could have been way, way worse.
