British Airways flight BA295 departed Heathrow for Chicago on 5 October on a Boeing 777 and shortly after take‑off experienced a pressure problem that caused oxygen masks to drop from the cabin ceiling.
The pilot told passengers a technical problem required a return to London, the cabin remained calm despite about ten minutes without cockpit communication, and the aircraft landed safely at Heathrow after refuelling for the transatlantic leg, having drifted about 8 km off its intended path.
