As a complete noob (Hi, first post here!), I was amazed and impressed at the information available on the other areas of the forum regarding the LHR 777 accident. Thanks for allowing a 'civilian' to peruse.
I had wanted to comment to
someone about the following screen grab, but so many other new people seem to be running around the 'real' threads, mucking them up, that I was trying to find a corner where I would not be beat up for making a quick comment:
Wow.
These guys were either very good, or very lucky, and most probably both. My hat is off for being able to thread the aircraft between two very unsavory places (parking lot and road), to hit the grass, especially if they were indeed having to maneuver at the last second.

Looking at those wheel furrows, he hit it just where he needed to, with both wheels at same time, the gear collapsed, and they rode in on nacelles the rest of the way...
Did I say:
Wow...?
