Faulty BA plane 'put lives at risk', passengers say

British Airways said a replacement aircraft had taken the passengers back to the UK

Passengers have accused British Airways of putting lives at risk after a plane had to make two emergency landings with the same fault.

The Boeing 747 flight to London first had to turn back to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday owing to a problem with the wing flaps.

When the same plane took off on Thursday after repairs, the problem reoccurred and it turned back again.

BA said it would never operate a flight unless it believed it was safe.

One of the passengers, Sean Casey, told the BBC that paramedics were brought on board to treat some of the passengers after the second emergency landing.

He said BA ground staff at the King Khalid International Airport were "unable to assist or advise" on "how they were going to get people to their final destination, many passengers have lost thousands of pounds as their onward flights, holiday accommodation and car rental has been paid and lost".

"I feel BA put 300 lives at risk by putting us on the same plane 24 hours after trying to fix a fault," Mr Casey said.

Another passenger, Ahmed Hamad, said that after the second emergency landing "there were lots of upset passengers and some trouble on board, and a few passengers refused to leave the aircraft".

'Four-hour delay'

Problems began with a four-hour delay before the plane bound for Heathrow took off on Wednesday from the Saudi capital, Mr Hamad said.

Then 30 minutes into the flight the captain announced they would have to turn back because of a problem with the wing flaps.

The pilot dumped fuel to make the plane lighter before turning back to Riyadh, Mr Hamad said, but "the speed of the landing was very fast".

On Thursday, after the plane had been fixed and passed as safe by engineers, the same problem occurred again just 20 minutes into the flight, Mr Hamad said, and turned back again.

A BA spokesman said a replacement aircraft had now taken the passengers safely to London.

The company said in a statement: "Our customer service teams are contacting customers directly to offer compensation, expenses and complementary tickets as a gesture of goodwill.

"The safety of our customers and crew is always our first concern and due to a technical problem, the decision was taken to return the aircraft to Riyadh.

"Our crew and customer service teams are doing everything they can to care for customers, and we provided overnight hotel accommodation."


I once worked in Saudi Arabia at King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital, and if what I am thinking is right, it could involve a Master Key and my Safe here, BA = 21 = U

My Safe here is also called a Pilot, which would also link to my Car, Key and possibly the House up the road, where our German Friend once lived, and the House Number 127/1, 127 also being the number on my Key for my Safe.

This morning I also had to go to a Shop called KT Optic, and have some Glasses I purchased altered which also included a New Eye Test, and also think it has something to do with Eye to Eye and Alignment in some way, so there could be something with Vision.

Might it have anything to do with being able to see into the Future? In my Images, and my Safe it would involve these pictures...

That picture is also 811, or 118.

It would also involve these pictures...

To me it could also mean this picture, which also links to Saudi Ariabia...

The Key on there are for my Mothers old House and my Small Samsonite Briefcase, which could also link to my Samsonite Suitcase here and the Combination.

Either side of that picture is these...

Again Whether any of what I put here means anything, I wouldn't know.

I was just looking at Tomorrow August 10

August 10 is the 222nd day of the year (223rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 143 days remaining until the end of the year.


August 10 could be seen as 81, or 81, and because I mentioned the Key with 127 on it I just wondered if there might be any connection, because I notice the following...

I wouldn't know, and it is only an observation.
