An international passenger plane has crash landed short of the south runway at Heathrow Airport after losing its rear undercarriage.
All 136 passengers and 16 crew escaped from the British Airways flight BA038 from Beijing. Six people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries.
An airport worker told the BBC that the pilot said he had lost all power and had to glide the plane into land.
All BA short haul flights from Heathrow have been cancelled and others delayed.
The BBC's Angus Crawford said the worker, who was not identified, said the pilot told him all the electronics had also failed.

And theyve been given a four bedroom house each and a family car within 20 minutes of getting off the plane.

Very very lucky indeed how many people walk away from a plane crash and live to tell the tale.

Full credit to the pilot for taking it down that safely! (Y'know, considering what could've been...) |
