In his first media interview, the pilot of a British Airways jet which crash landed at London’s Heathrow airport two years ago has described the moment he thought would die. Captain Peter Burkill’s jet plane lost power in the final seconds of its approach to land. Captain Burkill describes how in the space of five seconds his prediction for the imminent hard-landing changed from 100% casualties to 50%. In the event, there was only one serious injury, and Captain Burkill and his crew were hailed as heroes.
