"And they may well have taken a couple of roofs and the airport fence with them too
For those not familiar with LHR ( Hatton Cross tube station area). A little local geography expanding on the the BBC map of the area.
The BBC showed a car hire depot but not the filling station next door.
Sadly a BP petrol (gas) station seems more newsworthy.
The busy A30 4 lane major road is only a fence from the perimeter road.
The Green Man pub ( the noisiest pub in the world near a civil airport ?) is also one of the roofs that had a near miss.
A view from Hatton Cross underground station across the A30
with a normal approach of a SQ 747 shows how close the 777 was from an even worse event.

A view from the other side of the station
The peri track is past the green traffic lights.
Just and only just to the right of the traffic lights is the landing location.
