Has a Boeing 777 crashed

Answer 1

Yes - A British Airways 777-200ER from Beijing crashed landed on approach to London's Heathrow airport, stopping just short of the runway. There were no fatalities.

This said, it is generally regarded as one of the safest and most reliable planes flying today. Several incidents have occurred on 777s with RR Trent 800 engines, where the heat exchanger got clogged with ice, and the engines momentarily shut down. The previously mentioned incident at Heathrow is the only example of a 777 fuselage being too damaged to be repaired and being discarded.

To put it into perspective, over 1000 777's have been delivered to airlines by Boeing. Of the very few recorded incidents relating to the aircraft, no passenger or crew has ever died. A maintenance worker once died in a fire from one of the B777 engines, but that was unrelated to the quality of the aircraft.
