LONDON - British Airways apologized to passengers after an emergency message warning they were about to crash into the sea was played by mistake.
About 275 passengers were on the London Heathrow to Hong Kong flight on Tuesday evening when the automated message went out. The plane was flying over the North Sea at the time.
Cabin crew quickly realized the error and moved to reassure the terrified passengers.
"We all thought we were going to die," Michelle Lord, 32, of Preston, northern England, told The Sun newspaper.
Another passenger was reported saying: "I can't think of anything worse than being told your plane's about to crash."
A spokesman for British Airways said an investigation was under way to discover whether it was human error or a computer glitch.
"We apologize to passengers on board the flight for causing them undue distress," he added in a statement.
"Our cabin crew immediately made an announcement following the message advising customers that it was an error and that the flight would continue as normal."
BERLIN - A Polish man living in Germany went about his business for about five years without noticing he had been shot in the head because he was drunk when it happened. Police in the western city of Bochum said on Tuesday doctors found a .22 caliber bullet in the back of his head after the 35-year-old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed.
Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year's party "in 2004 or 2005," but had forgotten about it because he had been "very drunk," a police spokesman said.
"He told us he remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn't really one for going to the doctor," the spokesman said.
The wound later healed around the bullet and it was not until the man decided to have the lump examined due to recurring pains that the discovery was made.
Police said they were not treating the incident as suspicious as the bullet might have got lodged in the man's head when a reveler fired a gun in celebration.
"It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down," the spokesman said.
The resident of Herne, who has lived in Germany for several years, was expected to be released from hospital later this week after the bullet was removed on Friday, police said.
Odd-job worker jailed two years in 2003 for hurting another stepsonThe first 2 articles from Yahoo, the third from Stomp.
IN 2003, he was jailed for two years after stamping on his then eight-year-old stepson’s abdomen. Following the attack, the boy could not eat for 20 days.
Yesterday, the 39-year-old odd-job labourer was sent to prison again, this time for 15 months – for slapping, punching and stamping on the head of another stepson in July last year.
A second charge of punching and slapping the victim’s 41-year-old mother was considered during his sentencing. The couple are no longer living together.
The accused cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Kathryn Thong Lijuan said the woman came home and saw the accused scolding her son, then 11, who was refusing to show him certain letters and forms from his primary school.
The court was not told what the documents were about.
The woman told the accused to speak nicely to the boy, who was afraid of him. The accused then became agitated and a quarrel ensued.
He ordered the boy to go into a bedroom. There, he slapped the victim several times, punched him in the mouth area and on his chest, before stamping on his head while he crouched on the floor.
Subsequently, the complainant left the couple’s Telok Blangah flat with her son, with the accused running after them. He later abandoned the chase.
Pleading for leniency, the accused said he was remorseful and regretted his actions. He said he wanted to return to the flat to pack his things and apologise to the complainant.
“What about the boy?” asked District Judge Lee Poh Choo.
The accused replied that he also wanted to ask him for forgiveness.
The judge turned down his request to speak in court to his new fiancee, whom he is planning to marry.
“Before you get married again, you better go for counselling,” she said.
He could have been fined up to $4,000 and/or jailed for up to four years for ill-treating a child under his custody.
