LONDON, England (CNN) -- Witnesses have described how the pilot of a British Airways passenger jet that crash landed at London's Heathrow Airport on Thursday appeared to be struggling to bring the plane down safely as it came in low over surrounding houses.

Photos show a Boeing 777 -- BA flight 38 from Beijing, China -- grounded on tarmac after touching down several hundred meters short of the airport's south runway, close to a perimeter road, with its emergency chutes deployed and white fire-fighting foam covering the engines.

El Infidelo and I traveled to Tamiami Park to try our electric flying crafts. Here's the Eflite Blade 180 EFL minus the tail which broke off earlier during a crash landing. I was really impressed with the flying qualities of this model. It flew very well even in windy conditions, but it is definitely better suited for indoor flying. I also tried my first electric plane, a Wilga 2000 which flew very nicely until the speed controller caught fire and melted a hole through the foam fuselage on the third flight. I will do a review with pictures in the next post.
