Flight with ‘fumes in the cabin’ makes emergency landing in Boston after striking a bird

A British Airways flight from Washington, DC, to London was forced to make an emergency landing Saturday because of a bird strike. Flight 216 took off from Dulles International Airport just after 5:30 p.m.

and diverted to Boston Logan International Airport about two hours later “after the crew reported a possible bird strike and fumes in the cabin,” the Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News. Massachusetts Port Authority later confirmed to the network that a “bird was struck” and that the plane landed safely..
