What had been an uneventful passenger flight from Beijing soon turned almost fatal just moments before landing when a lack of power to both engines caused the Boeing 777 to crash. The quick thinking by the crew led by Captain Peter Burkill prevented the incident from being fatal and saved all 152 people on board
