BA flight lands short of runway

The emergency escape chutes were used
Passengers have been led to safety after a passenger jet landed short of the runway at Heathrow Airport.
The plane was British Airways flight BA38 from Beijing to London.

Six ambulances were sent to the scene and three people are being reported for minor injuries. Emergency services remain 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.

Eyewitness John Rowland said: "The plane's wheels collapsed, doors were flown open.

"On its approach it took the runway too low, just missing the roof of my cab.

"It crashed into the runway, debris was flying everywhere, there was an enormous bang and it skidded sideways."

Brilliant, no need to hold an inquiry then, as Mr Rowland, cab driver and renowned expert on flying and landing commercial aircraft, has already got to the root of the problem.

Is there nothing cabbies can't do?

That's great. You get injured through no fault of your own, then you get prosecuted for it.
