British Airways plane hits Heathrow runway in aborted landing during Storm Corrie | SWNS

This is the hair-raising moment a British Airways plane’s tail hit the runway at London Heathrow airport during an aborted landing.

The plane flew into London Heathrow shortly after midday on Monday (31/01), after taking off from Aberdeen at around 10:50am.

The moment was captured by Jerry Dyer, the founder, presenter and producer of Big Jet TV, a live streaming platform specialising in Live Aviation content.

I’m just happy everyone was okay! Never had to be on a plane with an aborted landing but I’m sure it was scary!

[MrMymodesty]

I can't imagine what I would have done if I was a passenger in that plane. Thank God for giving the pilot the wisdom of encouragement.

The best version of this was on Big Jet TV

I watch this and if you watch very closely during the slow motion after the right gear touchdown and the plane hopped, when the plane left gear touched hard there was a brief flash of fire, and a puff of smoke. it quick so watch carefully. Not sure if the inner tire blew or if the gears hard landing actually scrapped the runnway.

Would be decent if you actually gave credit to the video creator like.

Hate the guy speaking behind the scenes" i was looking for a video without him speaking, however here was great Captain Pilot BRAVO!! Hats of 2 u Buddy!! 💕

Going to be open and honest, feeling very emotional watching that. It easily could have been a disaster with lots of lives lost. Just a wee nick of the tail or wings on the runway could produced a big fire. So glad everything went ok and pilot aborted and came down safely afterwards. I was once landing at Edinburgh in a storm, and it took three attempts at landing (seemed to be just a couple of feet from the ground each time we tried) before we got down. I am glad I never saw the footage.

Must have been close to stall speed when he finally decided to abort and pull up!

[gerardstuber]

Magnifique réaction de l'équipage . Bravo .

[speedbirdconcorde]

Good thing the pilots did a go-around instead of landing and "crunch" the port engine!

My mate was on that flight from Aberdeen.

After the right wheel touched and he lifted, then both main gear planted solidly on the runway and if the spoilers had been armed as per the checklist, the spoilers would have deployed on the top side of the wing shutting down all lift. However, we don't see the spoilers deploy. My guess, they may not have been armed or may not have functioned properly.

TOGA s (to go around) are encouraged. Safe than sorry. 👍👍👍 job for the pilot.
