Why was this not a typical case of a runway overrun? And how could it be true both that the weather was a factor, and that the slippery runway was not? This video examines the nightmare crash of Britannia Airways flight 226A, and how close it came to being far worse. I use findings from the official accident report to recreate the series of events that led to the crash. Background music all licensed through Epidemic Sound.
