We're about to crash, jet passengers told in error - Aug 2010
'They said the pilot hit the wrong button'

LONDON ? British Airways apologized on Friday after a crew member mistakenly played an emergency message warning Hong Kong-bound passengers that the plane they were on was about to plunge into the sea. About 275 passengers on a Tuesday flight out of London's Heathrow Airport heard the message: "This is an emergency. We may shortly need to make an emergency landing on water," NBC News reported.

"People were terrified, we all thought we were going to die," passenger Michelle Lord, 32, told Britain's The Sun newspaper, which first reported the incident. "They said the pilot hit the wrong button because they were so close together." "I can't think of anything worse than being told your plane's about to crash," the Sun quoted another passenger as saying. The plane was flying over the North Sea at the time. Cabin crew on the Boeing 747 quickly reassured passengers that the message was a mistake and there was no emergency, NBC News reported.

"We would like to apologize to passengers on board the flight for causing them undue distress," British Airways said in a statement. "Our cabin crew immediately made an announcement following the message advising customers that it was played in error and that the flight would continue as normal," the airline said.

That must have been panic in their minds...

I bet they all appreciate life more, Most people do once they think they are going to die or lose everything in a lifetime

Very irresponsible of the British airways crew

The good side of the story could be that the passengers received a lesson on how they would react in an emergency situation.

When I went to high school, we used to have fake emergency drills.

Surprised nobody had a heart attack.

Good thing the infamous JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater wasn't on that flight.

Nikki_Licks · 08-27-2010, 03:01 PM

I am surprised no one had a heart attack. I am sure many of those people look at life a bit differently after going through that, I know I would.

I thought North America was about to sink.

I'm sorta relieved, I guess.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
