British Airways Jet Crash Lands at Heathrow

The crash landing of a British Airways Boeing 777 coming in from Beijing leads the international news. With typical English understatement, the airline's website had just one calm sentence: "A British Airways flight has been involved in an incident at Heathrow today" -- on the screen in very small type. But the puprose of this post is not to compete with the networks or web for breaking news, but to note that this blog featured an item about Europe's congested airports just yesterday and three involving London's Heathow last fall, one about the general Heathrow-centered congestion in the English air transport system, a second on my own travel miseries through Heathrow and one about a no-injury ground crash there.
