On the outskirts of London, exists the town of Staines-upon-Thames. With a population of 18,000 it is far from the most well-known place in the United Kingdom but on June 18th, 1972, this small town was thrusted into the national spotlight. The town of Staines became the scene of what was and still is to this day, the deadliest air disaster to occur on British soil. British European Airways Flight 548 crashed just minutes after take-off. It was supposed to be a short flight, one of less than an hour to Brussels, so what went wrong? Well for that we need to rewind the clock that day which brings us to Heathrow Airport? So how did things end up in disaster so quickly? It would turn out, there are many layers to this story. But before we get there, we need to have a quick talk about the plane involved.
