British Airways pilot accidentally activated an emergency slide before take-off to Romania.
A British Airways pilot mistakenly activated an emergency slide on a flight to Romania, causing significant delays and a £50,000 cost to the airline.
The incident occurred just moments before take-off, as passengers waited in their seats for departure.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene, and the flight was delayed for several hours until a replacement aircraft and pilot could be found.
The pilot allegedly failed to disarm the plane door when passing documents to ground crew, which would have prevented the slide from deploying.
