buckle up, a wild attempt att at landing in heathrow airport in london, heavy winds caused this british airways plane to bounce around until to the side, the tail dragging on the tarmac as the pilots then decided to abort the landing, take off, and try again. the second attempt was successful and passengers and crew members disembarked as normal, i m not sure how they were feeling on the inside. i m glad everybody was safe, the pilots were heroes pick out the international space station giving us a bird s-eye view of what a winter storm last weekend look like from beyond the earth s atmosphere. footage recorded by nasa shows an ic lake erie and lake ontario and there was a whole lot of snow covered ground even from that far away. if you have viral videos to share had us up at shannon bream or at fox news at night or cal
the fire department was there quickly or there wasn t a lot of fuel on board. tom, you know, again, you have covered transportation for a long time. you have been on a lot of planes, done stories about a lot of planes. when you look at the image to the left and you see the fuselage, while obviously, it was engolfed at some point and they are dousing it with whatever they use to put the flames out, the tail is off. it looks like there s been substantial damage. what does that tell you? the fact that the tail is off the boeing 777, what does that tell you? you know, it looks as if it looks as if it s possible the tail hit the runway first, almost as if we had some sort of tail dragging, the nose was high and the tail dragged like they had a sudden loss of altitude, power or control that caused the plane to come tail down first and the rest of the body slammed
bolts of this investigation, that s going to take some time. and yet this leading theory that this plane came in with essentially in layman s terms with its tail dragging, if you will, and suddenly pitching up with its nose in a dramatic fashion, and hit that seawall and slammed down on the ground. you know, the big issue as you and i have discussed throughout the day is how quickly can you get people out of a plane. and these planes, boeings and airbus planes today, are built to give people extra time. that doesn t mean it always happens. you know, they are built to hopefully allow more time with fire resistant, if you will, materials inside. and hopefully the materials of the seats themselves allow for a little bit of give so that hopefully people don t immediately break their backs or hips in an accident. and they have been remarkably successful at building planes that do just that. and yet if this is true, if 60 people are unaccounted for, boy, this certainly is very
