Irony on board a British AIRWAYS plane as passengers gasp for AIR

• Plane was at 10km
• Pilot narrowly avoids hypoxia by heroically reaching over and putting on his oxygen mask

There was shock and horror on a British Airways plane this afternoon when the pilot told the passengers that there was no oxygen left. The plane decended to a DANGEROUSLY low altitude of 10,000ft. The captain decided against diverting to Scotland because he went on a holiday there and didn't like it.

However, Wayne from Manchester swears it was flying so low that it nearly crashed into his house. "It was brushing the rooftops, it's ridiculous. It was speeding too. It just swerved and missed a group of schoolchildren and KITTENS".

Picture of the plane at 10,000ft snapped from the ground

The oxygen was finally working again but Dave, who was on board the plane and spoke to our reporter, says it was not pure oxygen. "I know oxygen and this wasn't it. It's like it was mixed with NITROGEN or something". Dave was emigrating because a foreigner took his job.

16 is in operation again today at DUB. Hope to get up later for some nice views.

Ei922 diverted to Faro on the way to lanzarote, unusual as it usually diverts on the other leg.

Irish 258 Learjet 45 coming into BAL from BFS. Nice and low over Dublin.

Short Presidential hop back from an official dinner.

I would have thought one of the IAC helos would have been more convenient ( and cheaper! ).

very interesting program on sky now about Brize Norton for anybody thats hungover and demotivated.

its a savage set up.

homerjay2005 · 08-03-2015 01:44PM

one Beluga inbound into Airbus Chester and one beluga outbound also, bound for Toulouse.

very unusual to see two of them there at the same time, especially on a Sunday.

Who in the name of god designed these things?!?

Shannon757 · 08-03-2015 01:59PM

Which looks better: Beluga or Dreamlifter?

The dreamlifter by far, but they are both extremely ugly planes.

EI147 DUB-SFO cabin crew will be out if hours very soon, they're looking for operations to try organise a priority push for them, they're currently 8th in the queue

Bit late to the EI146 party, but I was on this flight. 3 hours sitting on board before departing. Just missed going out of hours but christ, the crew acted like they had. They seemed to serve the meal the second we rotated and threw them out very quick. Lots of tired sulky faces half way through the flight.

Returned yesterday, better service but still think it had taken a dip in the past few years. Serious crosswind too, landed on 28 just before 16 was in use.

I'm waiting to board a flight and there's a 747 parked up over near the fire station.

Looks like a cargo plane but tis too dark and too far away to see what it is.first time I've seen one here in years!

Lovely minimalist livery on it too

I managed to snap 5 of them together in TLS a while back.

I think Dreamlifter as its still retains some of the B747 lines:

I went spotting in Manchester last year and saw one in the flesh, but it wasnt at the airport :cool:

FR24 claims they are Hawk T. Mk. 1 - Red Arrows are the only remaining RAF user of the Mk 1.

I think 100 Sqn still use T.1s at RAF Leeming . There are also T.1s with FRADU , although they are Fleet Air Arm of course

Flight BA95 from London to Montreal seemed to have turned around over the Atlantic and is returning to London?

Probably some kind of minor technical fault as it'd seem they're not an emergency.

Clear sky here, he's not on fire!!!

The Speedbird was dumping fuel before crossing Ireland

arubex · 08-03-2015 11:01PM

Nice sub on the NAX1362 from Oslo to Dublin tonight; A332 CS-TFZ!

Might be more interesting ones this week as sympathy strikes start amongst other divisions of Norwegian.

Mech1 · 08-03-2015 11:02PM

742J isnt on fire either, great night for spotting overheads.

Peregrine · 08-03-2015 11:17PM

Does anyone know if VG/VLM9618 that's flying over Dublin at the moment is a scheduled flight? I think it's going to BFS.

Ah, thanks! Didn't think of that, I had erased all the provinces' matches this week from my memory
