British Airways flight diverted to Vancouver after cabin crew becomes ill
A British Airways A380 aircraft on its way from San Francisco to London made an emergency landing in Vancouver late Monday after crew members became unwell, sending 25 to hospital. Flight BA286, carrying about 400 passengers, was surrounded by emergency vehicles shortly after it touched down at Vancouver International around 11:30 pm. Initial reports blamed the illnesses on smoke inhalation, but officials have yet to confirm this. "We are investigating the cause of the problem," a spokeswoman said. It appears all of those hospitalised were cabin crew. Health officials in Vancouver confirmed 25 people were taken to 3 area hospitals and released Tuesday morning. British Airways was making arrangements for about 400 passengers on the flight to continue their travel, according to the airline. <br/>
