{{British Airways said on Friday a plane travelling from London to Oslo was forced to make an emergency landing after a fault in one of the engines.}}<\/p>\n
Video footage on Sky News showed the plane at London’s Heathrow’s airport with smoke billowing out of its right engine.<\/p>\n
“It’s right engine was on fire. This plane was coming over and suddenly the tone of the engine changed dramatically. I’d almost say it was like a blowout or an explosion,” witness Clive Cook told media.<\/p>\n
The airport, Europe’s busiest, closed both its runways to deal with the incident, but one has since been re-opened.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the London fire brigade, which attended the incident, said they believed the fire was now out.<\/p>\n
“There has been an incident involving a BA aircraft at Heathrow airport this morning and both runways have been closed as a result,” a spokeswoman for the airport said. “All passengers have been safely evacuated from the plane in question.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
