British Airways passengers screamed in terror after an equipment malfunctionon their plane.
Travellers on the flight from Heathrow, UK to Larnaca, Cyprus screamed in panic as they were suufering from ear ache and head aches and one passenger fainted as the cabin pressure went up on the Cyprus bound flight from Heathrow yesterday Sunday midday..
Before the flight took off, the plane’s computer pressurised the cabin, believing the aircraft was airborne.
A passenger said“There was a noise and all of a sudden the air pressure went through the roof.
“I’m just thankful it didn’t happen mid-air, it would have been a complete disaster.”
A BA spokesperson said: “There was a minor technical fault.
“The aircraft engineers fixed the fault before the plane departed.
