On 17 January 2008, the Boeing 777 used for the flight, having completed the 8,100-kilometre (4,400 nmi; 5,000 mi) trip, crash landed just short of the runway at its destination. There were no fatalities but 47 people sustained injuries; one serious. The 150-tonne aircraft was the first Boeing 777-200ER to be written off in the model’s history, and the first hull loss of any Boeing 777. Ice crystals in the fuel were blamed as the cause of the accident, clogging the fuel-oil heat exchanger (FOHE) of eachengine. This restricted fuel flow to the engines when thrust was demanded during the final approach to Heathrow. Boeing identified the problem as specific to the Rolls-Royce engine fuel-oil heat exchangers, and Rolls-Royce subsequently developed a modification to its FOHE; the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) mandated that all affected aircraft were to be fitted with the modification before 1 January 2011. Boeing 777 aircraft powered by General Electric or Pratt & Whitney engines were not affected by the problem. <img src="http://i2.wp.com/whatsupaviator.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/BA-38.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i0.wp.com/whatsupaviator.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Ice-Trent-800-Heat-Exchanger.png?resize=760%2C569" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]tTHiagvdmU[/YOUTUBE]</blockquote>
