EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, the aftermath of an emergency crash landing of a Boeing 707-436 aircraft, registered G-Arwe, is captured in all its raw intensity. The incident occurred on the runway of Heathrow Airport, London (LHR/EGLL), United Kingdom, in 1968. The plane, operated by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), was en route to Zurich when, just three minutes and twelve seconds after takeoff, the number 2 engine fell off, causing the aircraft to veer off the runway. The sudden engine failure resulted in a significant emergency response. Fire crews quickly arrived at the scene, spraying foam over the wreckage to prevent any potential fires. Smoke billows from the damaged aircraft, adding to the chaos and urgency of the situation. Tragically, five lives were lost in the incident, and 38 people were treated for injuries. The root cause of the engine failure was identified as a low-pressure compressor problem. The Rolls-Royce Conway engines, powering the Boeing 707-436, were renowned for their reliability during the 1950s and 1960s. However, this unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of the risks inherent in jet-powered aviation. This photograph, taken in 1968, is a poignant reminder of the past and the progress made in aviation safety since then. It is an image that encapsulates the raw power and potential dangers of jet-powered airliners. This photograph is available for rights-managed licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online.
