Dramatic landing of British Airways A321 at Heathrow Airport caught on camera

The dramatic moment the tail of an aircraft hit the runway during a wild landing in London has not only been caught on camera, it was streamed live.

The British Airways flight BA1307 operating an Airbus A321 was touching down at Heathrow Airport when the incident happened.

Jerry Dyers, who runs the live streaming service Big Jet TV, can be heard reacting to the incident while providing live commentary to his thousands of viewers watching from around the world online.

"Oh my God!" he exclaims as the plane begins to wobble while getting closer to the ground. 

The video shows the cockpit crew aborting the landing and performing a 'go around'. Data from website FlightRadar24.com shows BA1307 returned to a height of 3,675ft before landing safely on the second attempt.

In a tweet following the incident, Dyers praised the pilots on board.

"The pilot deserves a medal! BA training could use this in a scenario," Dyers said.

The aircraft had come from Aberdeen, a flight which takes just over an hour on average. 

An A321 aircraft can carry as many as 200 passengers.
