BA204 from Miami operated by a 777 at this time newly promoting the 'GREAT' Festival of Creativity in Shanghai. The rose and bamboo artwork by Chinese fashion designer Masha Ma, intended to convey a western impressionistic style fused with Chinese ink-and-wash painting techniques, took 186 stencils and 2,472 man-hours to apply

The recovery operation begins. Flight BA38 landed about 300 meters short of runway 27L on 18 Jan 2008, after both engines had lost power due to a restricted fuel flow. The left main gear was pushed up through the wing, and the right main gear separated from the wing entirely. Fuel leaked, but there was no fire. Actually witnessing the scene brought home the extraordinarily short distance in which Triple Mike stopped. The lack of deformation is some credit to the integrity of Boeing's design, too.

Recovery continues. When I took the pic, the question "would you fly BA in a 777 tomorrow?" was doing the rounds. Yes, of course.
