British Airways plane forced to make emergency landing as smoke pours into cabin less than 2 hours into flight

A BRITISH Airways plane was forced to make an emergency landing less than two hours into the flight as smoke poured into the cabin.

The Boeing 777 had departed Dulles International Airport and was bound for Heathrow Airport on Saturday.

However, it was made to land in Boston after a possible bird strike less than two hours later, at 7:30pm local time.

Crew onboard the aircraft desperately reported “a possible bird strike and fumes in the cabin”, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
