VIDEO

Hi Hetfield. Apologies for lack of clarity! "We" = our company Merlin Broadcast which makes tv factual documentaries. We negotated for months with BAA to try to get permission to locate live cameras at Heathrow to provide rolling live coverage for a dedicated cable/internet channel- but in the end they said "no" (and this was before 9/11).

Anyway - now at least someone HAS come up with video of the incident - albeit on a mobile phone. It shows the aircraft coming in very low and with an unusual nose-high attitude.

Also , of course, the crew have since been on tv and it appears the Senior Flight Officer - not the captain - was in the left hand seat and handled the landing.
