Especially as we all know the Flying Crew and the Cabin Crew did a wonderful job today and rightly deserve praise!
Get your facts right before making unfair assertions!
Good point, well made.
Praise where praise is due for all of the crew involved in getting everyone out with few injuries. Also, let's not try anyone without having any evidence.
I have a trip early on Saturday morning and whilst I would prefer that it was not affected, I know that BA and BAA (hopefully!) will do what they can to keep the airline moving at LHR. I am sure that there is much to do to ensure that the airport is fully and safely operating again.
