British Airways flight returns to Heathrow after emergency

Original: british airways flight returns to heathrow

A British Airways flight from London to Chicago declared an emergency mid-Atlantic and turned back to Heathrow after descending rapidly, dropping around 28,000 feet. The aircraft landed safely and passengers were rebooked. The incident is drawing attention as travellers and aviation watchers ask what caused the sudden descent and whether the airline will explain the malfunction.

Why now: A dramatic mid-flight emergency descent on a major transatlantic route is new and alarming.
