Saade Dokumentaal

In 1968, BOAC 712 departed London Heathrow bound for Zurich and then Sydney. A minute after takeoff, events took a disastrous turn. The number two engine caught fire, and seconds later, the wing was ablaze. In a race against time, the crew fought to get the plane back on the ground at Heathrow. With no guidance systems, Capt. Cliff Taylor managed to land the burning plane and called for an emergency evacuation. Confusion and chaos followed, leading to tragic deaths and heroic acts by the crew. Hear from Junior First Officer John Hutchinson and two child survivors who escaped the inferno and uncover how the tragedy of BOAC 712 led to advances in fire and evacuation safety that we take for granted today.
