Quote:
Captain Peter Burkill only discovered that his Boeing 777 had lost power when he was 500ft above London's rooftops.
He tried to apply more thrust as the plane sank dangerously low on its approach to one of the world's busiest airports.
But the engines failed to respond, leaving him with 30 seconds to decide how to handle the crisis.
Capt Burkill was forced to the land the jet carrying 136 passengers several hundred feet short of the runway.

Great sensationalism from
Sky....
In that situation, there's only way - and that's down...no need to "decide" anything!
