Well done BA crew,
I find it very disturbing that we dare to judge the BA crew and their actions in avoiding a disaster from the comfort of our home having all the time in the world to micro-analyze.
They reacted according to their natural instinct increase thrust and clean up. Whether it was the most optimum reaction or not, who are we to judge?
Fact is, they saved the day with very little time on their hand. I know the feeling of going down a long runway at night on a quad with a lot of heavy metal behind you, there really is not much time to think of every possible outcome to a situation or what might be the best way to sort a problem. All you can do is, fly the plane and use airmanship.
That's what they did. That's what so many crews all over the world do every day, in every country (third world or not). The fact that we don't make the news headlines everyday just proves it.
Once again very well done BA!
My utmost respect for the crew!
