Despite Boeing 777's good safety record, how long before a total loss? Most pax walked away from London crash.

On 4 November 2007, a Boeing Company 7772D7 aircraft, registered HS-TJW, was being operated on a scheduled passenger service from Bangkok, Thailand, to Melbourne, Vic, with 17 crew and 277 passengers on board. During a non-directional beacon (NDB) non-precision approach to runway 16 at Melbourne Airport, the aircraft descended below the segment minimum safe altitude at 6.8 distance measuring equipment (DME, a measure in nautical miles). Soon after, the crew received two enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) cautions. The crew then levelled the aircraft and conducted a visual approach and landing on runway 16.
The investigation is continuing.

The recent London Heathrow B 777 incident was more serious & I await the outcome of the investigation with much interest. There are over 500 of these in service and none older than about 1995.

It was noted that both engines failed at the same time, considering the outstanding reliability of today's moder engines, I am suspicious on this one as the odds of a duel engine failure are so remote it points to crew error like they ran out of fuel. Airlines ofter carry the minim fuel to meet the requirements as extra fuel creates weight, thus burning more fuel, so the airlines carry no more than they have to legally.
I some how this is human error as the 777 is an outstanding aircraft and I place fault on the airline.
