'Seconds from disaster': UK plane with 180 onboard had a close shave before landing

A British Airways flight (BA919) from Düsseldorf to London Heathrow experienced a critical near-miss incident on July 6, 2025, when an air data system failure caused the Airbus A320 to stall while approaching London. The aircraft was flying at approximately 4,000 feet when the system malfunctioned, leading to a potential loss of control. The pilot attempted to manage the situation but required physical intervention from the captain to prevent a catastrophic outcome. The incident, described as one of the most severe near misses in the UK in recent years, resulted in a classification of 'Loss of Control In-flight' and is labeled as 'Pilot Induced.' Investigators are still determining the exact sequence of events that led to the emergency.
