"BA report reveals heroics". It referred to the internal BA report (where the flight deck crew cleaned up the aircraft to get a few extra yards). And that was it.
....and that was apparently enough to save all on board.
Does anyone have any firm evidence of this ?
To be honest given the timing of the incident and (thankfully) very unique circumstances there wasn't much they could actually do.
Reducing flaps
might have saved the day, or it
might have them miss the runaway. I'd love to see some hard evidence either way.
