A Houston-bound British Airways plane was forced to land at O’Hare International Airport Sunday afternoon after the pilot reported a situation onboard. The landing prompted a Hazardous Materials response by the Chicago Fire Department.
An EMS Plan 1 and Level 1 HazMat was called on an O’Hare runway at 2 p.m. as an electrical precautionary measure, according to Fire Media Affairs Cmdr. Will Knight, who said all passengers from the plane were cleared and there were no injuries.
British Airways Flight #195, which originated in London and was headed to Houston, was diverted to O’Hare after the pilot reported a “situation” onboard, according to Dept. of Aviation spokesman Gregg Cunningham.
