An Airbus A321 British Airways flight had to return to London Heathrow after both the pilots became "unwell" and "light-headed."
The London Guardian says the Glasgow-bound flight returned to London about 20 minutes after takeoff for an emergency landing. That came after pilots of the flight made a "panicked" call to the cabin crew asking for assistance in the cockpit, according to various media reports.
The Daily Mail of London says that with the attendants' help, "the captain and first officer had to put on oxygen masks as the aircraft, which had just taken off from Heathrow, was climbing at 20,000 feet."
The incident aboard the Airbus A321 jet happened Dec. 20, but was picked up by mainstream British media over the weekend.
Passengers on the flight apparently were initially told that the emergency landing was due to a mechanical issue.
However, a spokesman for British Airways confirms to The Telegraph of London the pilots had become "unwell" on the flight in question. 6 Replies to Airbus Cuts Off Oxygen to Pilots nearly Knocking Them Out Cold |

When is the gangster organization Murderbus going to be shut down by the authorities and the righteous anger of the general public?
When will the vicious gangsters who run Murderbus be arrested and executed?
When will Piely B Pedophile, their official Goebbels, be hanged for his enthusiastic complicity in this crime against humanity?
Hopefully not before Muderbus kills at least 10,000 more euro peon serfs. |

I nearly posted that one from the Daily Mail yet decided at the end of the day to post the big one on the talks of grounding all Airpus.
This must be funny, when the aircraft computer gets fed up with being a slave to humans and retaliates on the pilots.
It looks like Kubrick's Space Odyssey !
