Pilot Gains Honor After Jetliner Crash Landing
A Boeing 707, with one engine ablaze and the left wing on fire, landed safely at London Airport after taking off for Sydney. Captain Charles Taylor, a New Zealander, was hailed by survivors and BOAC officials for saving 121 lives, with 5 dead and 22 injured among the 126 aboard. Survivors recalled a fiery engine detaching and skimming a gravel pit while the jetliner, guided by the captain, completed a three minute approach and safe touchdown amid fading music and orderly evacuation. Investigations will probe why fire extinguishers and warning systems failed and why the burning engine ignited.
