BA flight to New York in emergency landing at Heathrow

BBC News - BA flight to New York in emergency landing at Heathrow
The aircraft landed safely at Heathrow
A British Airways jumbo jet with 296 people on board had to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Heathrow airport.
The Boeing 747, destined for New York, was over London at 0920 BST when it was noticed a handle on a cabin door was moving.
Wimbledon residents reported a low-flying aircraft as the jet turned and headed back to Heathrow.
The flight, BA117, landed safely at the west London airport.
In total the plane was airborne for 11 minutes.
Passengers were being put on another flight thought to be departing at 1500 BST.
Hannah Evershed was on board. She said: "It wasn't fun. I fly a lot for work and I knew we were flying too low.
"The pilot alerted the cabin crew over the loudspeaker to answer his calls. It all happened quite quickly."
