This was the first full loss of a 777 aircraft, which had been operating without serious issue since 1995. In a strange twist, the culprit in this accident seemed to vanish after the crash, leaving investigators puzzled. Speculation was rife after the accident, with some saying that a software glitch may have downed the aircraft, or that there may have been radio interference from the prime minister’s motorcade which was passing nearby at the time. In the end, they found that the cause was both far simpler, and far more pernicious. The story of this flight shows how a collection of circumstances which on their own are harmless, can combine to cause an accident. This is also a story of how experience, and quick-thinking, can be the difference between life and death. --- All music licensed through Epidemic Sound Interview with the Captain https://www.avweb.com/multimedia/podcast/the-crash-of-ba038/ Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_38 Qatar airways picture: Konstantin von Wedelstaedt (GFDL 1.2 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.html or GFDL 1.2 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.html), via Wikimedia Commons Fire brigade picture: Aero Pixels from England, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons Other pictures from Final Report: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5422f3dbe5274a1314000495/1-2010_G-YMMM.pdf ATC Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcGA3vRwzuE
