'We're about to crash! "This is an emergency. We may shortly need to make an emergency landing on water.'
Not the announcement you want to hear while sipping a g and t over the North Sea.
But that's what 275 passangers on a BA flight to Hong Kong heard a fgew weeks ago.
A computer-activated 'crash warning' was erroniously fed into the PA system and broadcast to the horrified passengers.
After it ended cabin crew hastened to assure passangers that it was a 'false alarm'.BA subsequently apologised.
