@walesonline: A British Airways flight bound for Chicago was forced to make a dramatic U-turn after plunging 28,000ft during a mid-air emergency ✈️🚨

Theuglyhairtroll :

It didn’t plunge though did it. It lost pressure so they flew lower.

JayChaos :

The guy drinking beer like “eh whatever mate”

Fuuka Yamagishi • Adomin :

“Plunged” mate it dropped 28,000ft in 10 minutes which is 2,800fpm. That’s a completely normal descent rate lol

ooooohhhhh :

Why didn't they just dump the fuel instead of flying for hours?

99 ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅᴏ :

Controlled descent not plumted

CalebMcDuff :

Oxygen masks came down over Newport. Standard procedure, even on a bus

sarsy_c :

It didn’t ‘plunge’ though did it 🙄

Crick :

was wondering why I saw a plane going every low above my house😂

Joealex🏉🚵 :

I see this the moment before going onto a plane

Frilly Pink Records :

This is that plane on approach to LHR I took yesterday.

Oscuria ✈︎ :

“Plunged” when it was controlled 😭

trucker6392 :

Bloody journalists would say my nan plunged down the stairs when she came down at 0.0001mph on her stair lift 🙈🙈

ᴡʜᴏ.ᴛꜰ.ɪs.ᴋᴀɪᴀ ¿ :

just land

Hank Mobley :

So it carried out a controlled and normal descent in line with SOP

warlocktwelve :

It’s not a plunge. They’re just getting down to an altitude with breathable air as the oxygen masks don’t last very long

CarlosB :

unable to maintain cabin pressure, this can be serious and can cause hypoxia glad it got back safely

¹ F1 memes because why not ⁸¹ :

This is where everyones gonna get plane incidents in their algorithm and everyone thinks all the planes suddenly have loads of problems and are falling out the sky

Blair :

I like conversations that leave me smiling after they end. 🤣

🎃🧡𝑻𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑨🧡🎃 :

WAIT I SAW THAT PLANE AND I WAS LIKE WHY DOES IT KEEP COMING BACK I love ina town it went over

Reply Andy outrage :

How do you “plunge” 28,000 feet and still have time to make 6 u-turns? Keir starmer the pilot?

tobyisnowonfire :

I took a picture of it before it landed

xxx :

this is not a comforting sign since im going to spain on the ninth with british airways.

thedeckdock :

They could’ve left the entertainment on

And where’s the lad with the speaker walking on the aisle?
