INCIDENT British Airways #BA2236 suffered a shattered windscreen after ice fell from another plane flying above A British Airways jet suffered a shattered windscreen when a block of ice fell from another plane flying 1,000ft above, causing misery for passengers unable to get back to the UK for Christmas. The Boeing 777 was flying from London Gatwick to Costa Rica at 35,000ft when the ice struck its windshield in a ‘one-in-a-million chance.’ The pilots were able to fly the plane into San Jose but the repairs needed spelt disaster for some 200 passengers who had been due back in London by Christmas Eve. Their flight was rescheduled for the following evening but failure to get a plane diverted from Jamaica meant that they were forced to spend another night in the airport hotel, finally leaving on Boxing Day – 50 hours behind schedule. https://www.airlive.net/incident-british-airways-ba2236-suffered-a-shattered-windscreen-after-ice-fell-from-another-plane-flying-above/
