A British accident report has confirmed that a build-up of ice in the fuel lines of a Boeing 777 jet caused its crash landing at London's Heathrow Airport two years ago.
US and European regulators moved to impose modifications to the engines of some jets after the British Airways plane fell 330 metres short of the airport's runway on January 17, 2008.
More than a dozen people were injured.
Investigators had suspected that water usually present in aircraft fuel froze up, choking off the engines. That was confirmed in the report.
