Carrying 71 people from Amsterdam a British Airways plane crash landed at London City Airport losing its front wheel. The airport was closed as a precautionary measure following the event. Thankfully none of the passengers were seriously injured. Passengers told of the terrifying drama as the cabin began to fill with smoke after its landing. Passenger Ray Hamblin told Sky News ‘people were pretty calm at first but when the plane started to fill with smoke, people were not moving fast enough and they got pretty fractious.’ An inquiry has begun into the landing and British Airways confirmed that the nose-wheel on the aircraft suffered a failure on landing.
