Hi All,
Short video showing British Airways Boeing 747-400 catching fire in Castellon, Spain.
The aircraft is parked there since August 2020 and is supposed to be disassembled into small parts. Authorities believe that the fire in the cockpit region was caused by sparkles during the dismantling process.

2015 catch fire at las vegas ba 777 2020 catch fire at spain ba 747
May the 747 Rest In Peace
Someone forgot to disconnect the battery.....
Lamentável
747s don’t get a break
My last 3 brain cells during Chemistry exam
2020 what else ?
Ops
Scrap metal now
Insurance what else.
Wow😯
You know you're a skeptic when the first thing you think is, "Meh. Probably insurance fraud."
R.I.P SPEEDBIRD B747-400
Materials inside are flammable
Just like the one world plan should burn and British Airways will go bust their is a higher entity ☺ 😂
O no como termino incendiandose el boeing 747 de british airways? Como paso
Very sad video. Too bad people don’t record in landscape
Very sad thing to see
Very sad thing to see
Comentem em português pra que eu entenda kk! No explic inglês.
@Harrison Parker vixe, Agora sim kk.
O homem disparou. O avião pegou fogo. Entendeu ?
Why why whyyyyy my day a ripped
Very good computer graphics - almost got me convinced!
Wow this is very interesting 🤔 I'm no expert but common sense is telling me something suspicious is a foot
Its an insurance job...Thats why you always see bars and restuarants on fire....
Anyone else still shocked that the 747-400 is now gonna be fazed out, can't imagine the aviation world without it.
True
This is why Airbus is the king of the skies. Queen must go down in flames.
@Douglas M doesn't have to be the A380. Airbus is dominating. They don't purposely kill people and hide it.
Yeah in their A380....oh wait, PARKED!!!
a very sad end to a great flying machine...tsk tsk...
Alguém traduz aí pra mim o que acontece?
A cabine desse Boeing 747 pegou fogo mas não explicam nem como nem porquê.
Fire in the cockpit.!!!
Seems to be coming from the cockpit, could be an avionics fire. Sad to be honest. Although there will still be useful parts elsewhere on the plane. I mean it's good in a way it happened there and not in mid air
That fire appears to be aft of the cockpit. So the galley? There's no fuel there. Electrical?
hmm .. one world on fire ... interesting
Hey i think that plane is on fire.
:(
Just the pilot vaping.
Well a least it happened on the tarmac and not in mid air over the Pacific or the north Atlantic ocean where there are no fire tenders at hand , it looks like the cockpit area ife or something down inthe E and E caught fire, she wont be going anywhere soon and thats for sure , i wounder what age the jumbo is probably 25 yrs old ,be interesting to know the out come , must look it up
Someone got a little heated over the premature retirement
😥😥😭
I was on that plane, such a shame. I’m so upset they are retiring the 747. This is just more salt in a fresh wound.
I smell an insurance job!
I told you! 747 planes have ejector seats! Just looks here!
poor 747 :(
What in the name of insurance fraud is going on here?
Hmmmm, looks like a good insurance claim in the making! Perhaps they were trying to reactivate this bird from a deep slumber and something went wrong, hopefully repairable.
What caused the fire?
That is sad
✨THIS✨PLANE✨IS✨ON✨ *fireeeeeeeeeee* 😍🔥🔥🔥🥵
The plane is just crying
Bevor man in die Pleite fliegt, man besser einen Versicherungsfall produziert ... (?)
What's wrong with 2020😂
KLM had a few days ago a collision with the queen. And this of BA on fire. 😥
that is where the Boeing 747 dies slowly and silently
Heartbreaking it's bad enough seeing all 747s being scrapped but on fire fucking bollocks. I flew on G-CIVD to Miami in September 2015
THIS IS LIT! 🔥🔥
tf u say?
Could have this been an Maintenance storage error ? . Guess a new AD or SB will be published
This should not count as an incident involving a British Airways plane as it was retired. The staff dismantling the plane probably were using tools or equipment that caused sparks and this started a fire.
How much do you bet it was triggered by a battery
Nil, tools/equipment used during dismantling.
You work hard all your life, and as soon as you get a chance to retire... it all goes up in smoke. “The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen!”.
What a sad way to say goodbye
wow
Why G-CIVD!?
In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, please grab one of the cabin crew, pull them down firmly and breath normally. When aircraft retire, they are normally scrapped and broken up. Given the Covid situation, I think a cremation is very appropriate.
I hope BA don’t write it off! I really hope so! 😞😓
Spency how sorry 😞😓☹️ it’s just unbelievable!
No, sadly they have all retired already
ALA ALAROY but they still operate some! That’s why I wrote that as I thought this was only grounded for a while because of the global pandemic! 😊😊😊
Already written off before the fire.
CLICKBAIT DOOD
Long live the queen.
Hey at least it’s not the entire plane
Poor Boeing 747 😢
British really wishing they paid to cover the livery before scrapping began...
Only if the queen of the skies was as immortal as the queen of England
Cause ?? Electrical? O2?
Perhaps electrical but not confirmed yet
This is so sad
That’s so weird, I just flew on that exact plane from Ghana to London last year
They were probably making some tea...
British Airways (“BA”/“BAW”) now should receive an Insurance check on a claim.
@justplanecrazy5 I'm not too sure about that. Normally when aircraft are sold the previous owner removes anything that can identify them. But it is one way to make a profit out of a retired aircraft !!!
They don’t own the plane anymore
Theyll probs get more money for the insurance than scape.
RIP G-CIVD
One of the last 747 That is a passenger plane 😭
2020 really doesn't like big planes :(
2020 don't like almost NOTHING normal :(
poor baby :(
Oxygen tanks behind the cockpit seats? Even retired, still painful to watch.
OMGODDDDDDDDDDDDD.... Oxygen isnt flammable, it is an oxidizer...SMH
LOL
It is in Spain where smoking is compulsory
What? Smoking in closed public spaces has been prohibited for years! You say nonsense.
One less 747 to recycle. RIP
what happened to the 747
Welp the captain brain was working too hard...
2020 affecting air travel be like
😥😥😪😪
Nice catch, just subcribed.
I don’t want to go be scraped yard to be spare part and I want in sky bit longer until 2022 please Crying with fire 😭😭😢😢🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥said Boeing 747-400 ☹️
They really want these things gone ASAP. F in the chat.
ONG WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WAS THIS!!! How have not heard of this?
There was nobody inside and the aircraft was already retired
Fun fact: my dad took this to go to South Africa 1 year ago
Really that is great but I never flew this airlines company British airways
I did the same as you, LHR-CPT in late December
Queen of the skies always !
@Matteo Domenico thanks*
@Aviation 69 oh thanks, sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian
Sparkles? I think you mean glitter.
Sooo..was the plane saved n repaired??💁🏻
the aircraft was already retired, very unlikely it will be repaired if not impossible.
Well, shit
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Well they kinda retired the 747s and they were gonna get scraped for metal and bits welp that cockpit is a 20,000£ gone
I bet this is gonna be on lucasses aviation weekly video
Not only it’s retired, but now it’s even on fire so you can’t use those spare parts...poor queen of the skies
@Vodka Gorbatschow Exactly, one from those expensive parts :(((
It's planned...Fire insurance....that's why you see bars and restuarants, are always caught on fire LOL
@Ayaan_0307 I mean all the instruments in the cockpit section and on the upper deck...it hurts in general to see a plane burning
How about the 95% of the plane that wasnt on fire
One of the 300 views
"Luckily no one was injured"
Dude you should have used Sticky Fingers to zip away the piece of fire.
No no NO The queen....
