"Student Anya Hotinski, 24, on the BA flight 011 said:..."

You couldn't make up a name for a college student like "Anya Hotinski"...

From what I could see in the pictures the damage doesn’t look too serious- part of the winglet was taken out but there is no wiring or fuel in that location.

This is all very interesting, but where is the picture of this “Anya Hotinski?”

The passengers were forced to spend the night at hotels without their luggage - which had to remain on board.

Why on earth did the luggage have to remain on board? It wasn't like the plane was going to take off and fly to it's destination.

“The fundamental problem is that the basic layout was designe”

Since everyone appears to do this everyday, thousands of times a day, every day of the year, the fundamental problem sees to be pilot error.
