Please tell us why it would be worse?

More heavily populated area?
Emergency teams are not as fast to respond?
Hospitals are crap in the UK?

Those are not really answers above but an attempt to get you to say something with some relevance!!!!!
No need for that tone, all I am stating is the area around LHR (you'll know if you've been there) is surrounded by heavily built up areas with roads, houses etc, note the plane landed 1 kilometer short of runway, further away than the BA777. Luckily for this incident, on approach to the Polderbaan at AMS there are mostly agricultural fields.
