British Airways flight drops 28,000 feet, returns to London
Original: british airways
A British Airways flight from Heathrow to Chicago made an emergency return to London after a technical issue caused a rapid loss of altitude and cabin pressure. Passengers on the Boeing 777 described oxygen masks deploying as the plane descended around 28,000 feet within minutes before diverting. No injuries were reported, and the airline apologised to passengers.
Why now: The dramatic mid-air emergency and safe return drew wide attention across multiple countries.
