Quoting CHRISBA777ER (Reply 2): Cue shrill whines from loads of "armchair" types who castigate BA for continuing with the flight claiming it is unsafe |
Quoting AI (Reply 3): BA continued with a non-working engine & not a tyre. I am not an expert so it might be safe to do so, but to me on the face of it, it seems a better idea not to continue on a long haul flight if you are already one engine down. |
Quoting Sketty222 (Reply 1): Has it lost an actual wheel or has a tyre just blown? |
