This is amazing: this plane landed on the ground (earth) short of the main E-W runway at Heathrow, destroyed the landing gears (very very strong gears) and damaged the wings. It didn't catch fire, probably didnt have much fuel remaining anyway (flight from Bejing to London) but still this is amazing. Pilot declared an emergency and landed asap - dont know what the emergency was - but he landed short of the approach, short of an access road that ran along the approach end of the runway. This could have been really bad - only 3 passengers injured, while sliding down chutes.
