During a British Airways flight from Barcelona's El Prat airport to London's Heathrow, several crew members became ill due to toxic fumes. The plane was met by emergency services, which provided assistance to the victims.
It is reported that three people felt unwell during the landing. As it turned out, the cause of the smoke was an emergency, Simple Flying writes.
A representative of the London Ambulance Service told the media that three paramedics, two paramedics of the highest category, two ambulance crews, and other specialists were sent to help the victims, who responded quickly to the emergency.
