Gliding Jumbo??

[Vfrpilotpb]

I read in the newpapers on Friday the 13th a very small story regarding a cargo Jumbo with 1 engine out and further engine failures looking possible was allowed(alledegly) to proceed over Ldn to Heathrow.

Is this true, or has it been some sort of hacks joke re the 13th Friday syndrome?
