This was an hour ago...any developments?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
The plane landed safely and did not require assistance. I tried listening on the liveatc stream but there was a lot of static and I could not make out the callsign. Will try to listen to the archives. It landed shortly after 5pm.
