British Airways passenger plane has made an emergency landing at Heathrow Airport, forcing PM Gordon Brown to delay his visit to China.

British Air ways Boeing 777 made the emergency landing at 1242 GMT, British Airports Authority (BAA) said on Thursday.

TV footage from the scene showed the aircraft's left wing had come away from the fuselage and that emergency chutes had been deployed.

The airport's southern runway is currently closed, but the northern runway is still in operation.

In a statement, British Airways said all 136 passengers had been evacuated from the plane with three minor injuries.

A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said there was nothing to suggest the incident was terror-related.

The incident happened as Prime Minister Gordon Brown was due to leave Heathrow for China and India. His flight was delayed due to the incident.

Where Iran was and it is now...!?!?

by Good Old Days (not verified) on

Back in March of 1979 when I left Mehrabad airport on a beautiful, clean, safe, and classy Boeing 747, Iran Air had daily flights all the way to New York. The Iran Air staff and stewardesses were clean, educated, dressed well, handsome, polite, civilized, etc. Back in those days Iran's protocols were different than today's Islamic Republic where filth, backwardness, mediocrity, and misery are encouraged and rewarded.

I hope the situation in Iran deteriorates even beyond the current miserable conditions. After all, the inhabitants of Iran deserve to travel in the same fashion their ancestor used to do, on a back of a camel!?! After all they deserve it! They had all the best and decided to give them up all for the Ayadollah Khayehmani!?

Nothing new

by gholabi (not verified) on

I was in Iran last month, people in general are afraid of flying any Iranian operated plane, and since the stupid government has rationed the gas for cars, the only other option for travelers are Trains and smelly buses. But good luck getting ticket for that, you have to book a week in advance or know people in high places. And this new Imam Khomaini's airport is about an hour out of Tehran in the middle of nowhere. The road to airport is not safe, not only because of road conditions, but because there have been reports of highway rubbery and abductions. Anyway, if you go back home stay away from planes and airports if you can.

First of all this is a Fokker and the US has nothing to do with its spare part. I have heard that it was the pilot's error that caused the crash. He forgot to de-ice the plane before take off.
Is it possible for us to have a civil discussion about something relating to Iran ??? Or do we have to curse each other ?

I told you so

by Mahmoud Ghaffari (not verified) on

I wrote an article in iranian.com a few years ago after the crash of the C130 military cargo and pointed to the sad fact of mismanagement, and the dissaray the civil aviation authority in Iran is in. Iran air had the best record in the world going into the revolution and now is at the bottom of the pile with all these accidents in the last 20 years. How much further does all the great things Iran had accomplished has to be nullififed under this deamonic regime???
