Whilst I agree that the Telegraph story is misleading I think that the medical emegency was for real. I checked the BA arrivals & the flight was 3 hours late & the final point of departure was REC & not LHR.
Fin,

I believe someone else confirmed that there was a medical emergency. That I would not necessarily dispute. However, it would be interesting to hear a trustworthy account of what happened.

As we have already seen how BASSA have added a fictitious quote to the original story and edited the words to make the original poster seem more educated, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the truthful version of events differs significantly from the BASSA version.

As I said, it would be nice if a respected journalist would investigate further.
