wow400 seems to have it spot on. It is amazing how many people hang others out to dry without any facts at all. For those who keep bleating about 3 engine 747's, perhaps you might like to look at the facts of the story. Not worth listing them here, but the fact of the matter is that the crew followed BA and CAA procedures, were taken to task by outside agencies and found that they had acted CORRECTLY. What more could you want?
This TCAS incident is similar, the crew made a good decision which is only challengable in Newspaper headline fashion, rather than head thinking fashion.
Do any of you out there think a BA Captain would continue with serious injuries on board? What sort of idiots do you think we are?
