昨日头条:布朗就任首相以来首次访华
今日头条:Gordon Brown just 25ft from death in Heathrow crash 在希思罗机场迫降中戈登布朗离死神仅25英尺
Mirror.Co.Uk 18/01/2008
Gordon Brown stared death in the face yesterday as the stricken Heathrow jet came hurtling in just 25 feet above his head before crash landing.
The Prime Minister was being driven to a VIP lounge along an airport perimeter road when the Boeing 777 lost all power and plummeted towards the ground.
He had arrived for a flight to China which was waiting on the ground. Already on board the jumbo was Mirror Political Editor Bob Roberts.
One aide told him of the terrifying moment the PM and his entourage feared they were about to be wiped out. The insider said: "It was just yards above our heads, almost skimming a lamppost as the plane came in fast and very, very low."
Mr Brown could only look on in horror as the jet narrowly missed his black Jaguar before smashing into grass just before the runway.
Bob told how he was having a relaxing coffee with colleagues on the PM's plane when the peace was shattered by the sound of Flight BA038 crashing at 12.42pm.
Mr Brown suffered an air scare in April 2002 when a Concorde engine failed on the way to New York.
The PM was with wife Sarah and a delegation of 25 leading businessmen, including Richard Branson, heading to the Far East when yesterday's drama happened.
He arrived in Beijing last night hoping to create thousands of British jobs by boosting trade with China which has a booming economy.
The Boeing 777 is an extremely reliable aircraft. Since its launch in June 1995 not one has been lost in a crash.
Keiran Daly of Flight International Magazine said: "The 777 is state of the art."
