To all that are speculating that wind shear or a microburst could not
bring down a 777 sized aircraft, I need only to point out DL191 which
flew into a mircorburst at DFW. The plane,Tristar-L1011, was forced down short of the runway but was intact until it hit the water towers.
Whatever caused today's incident will come out in due time, but let's
all be thankful the headlines dont read BA jet plows into busy roadway
or bursts into flames on landing. A great job to both cockpit and cabin
crew.
