The unsung hero in this incident is captain Moody's bladder.

Captain Eric Moody passed away earlier today at the age of 84

"A small problem in that all our four engines have failed". Oh, man, that is quite an understatement.

“We have a small problem, all four engines have stopped.” British understatement at its finest.

"I trust you are not too distressed about this." This was so British. Also the old WW2 veteran who was not impressed and immediately tried to top this story with his own.

R.I.P Captain Eric Moody, your bravery and airmanship will never be forgotten.

R.I.P Captain Moody. You and your crew did an outstanding job getting everyone down safely.

Omg I thought the parts with Captain were from some news article but you actually had a chance to talk to the Captain for this video. He seems to be a lovely person and a great Captain

Absolutely brilliant crew. "A small problem insofar as all our engines have failed."

In an interview with some of the crew, a question was asked about legendary British courage and keeping a "stiff upper lip" during the ordeal. One answered; "The upper lip may have been stiff but the knees were definitely knocking".

I was an air hostess in 2005 and flew with Captain Moody at BA. We saw this incident on training but I didn't realise it was him at the time.

Eric Moody passed away today. RIP Eric!

My favourite tale about this incident is that Capt Moody said that everyone on the aircraft was now an honorary member of his Jakarta gliding ciub! What a guy! Leader of an exemplary team!!

Flight 9 is just an example of diligence and pure skill out of the pilots and engineer. "Never give up. Never surrender." They pulled it off. They saved the plane and the passengers.

In the late 80's I used to work at Rolls Royce in Derby and this flight was still talked about. The story I heard was that when those engines came back for inspection and repairs the engineers were amazed he even got one restarted let alone all 4 the damage on them was that great having said that RB211 engines were known for being over engineered (as I would hope all Jet engines are) and could run in some amazing conditions.

RIP Captain Moody. 🙏 😢❤ Thank you for your heroic service.

The best part of this particular event discussion is that you had Captain Moody online with you giving you real time information. So many of your incident reports cannot include a member of the flight crew, but this was a refreshing additional component. Anytime you can do this, please add it to your outstanding videos.

Hi, I remember this incident well! At the time I was an Avionics Apprentice working for British Airways. I was one of the ground crew who worked on this aircraft once it returned to LHR. It required a lot of work to get it airworthy again. The plane still had a sulphurous smell to it when we were repairing it. All the pitot and static heads were replaced, every piece of piping from them was disconnected and blown clean and a whole lot more. I also remember cleaning and repacking the 400 odd passenger oxygen masks. It was in our hanger for many days, then went to the paint shop for a new coat of paint. The flight crew certainly earned thier money that night.

Sad news, it's just announced that Capt Eric Moody has passed away. RIP Skipper
