Re: BA Flight lands short of Runway
Interesting - the engines did fail asymmetrically, the right first, and were under power in the latter stages of the flight. Given that it wasn't the power required to keep the plane up, it's still an engine failure, but of the fuel or control systems.
The one whacky theory that still hasn't been knocked down is icing in the fuel - the conditions up top were particularly cold that day and all fuel contains some water, it's unavoidable. Interesting too that the AAIB put out an interim statement a long time before the next one was due, presumably to dampen speculation.
Has everyone already seen this:
