Passengers evacuate from American Airlines plane at Heathrow Airport

Passengers had to use an emergency slide to evacuate from an American Airlines plane at Heathrow Airport in west London after a “technical issue”.
The incident happened at Terminal 3 on Sunday morning.
A Heathrow spokeswoman said a “technical issue” was identified and the problem was resolved.
A passenger on a flight from Helsinki, Ross Hiscock, said he saw “smoke coming from the tail-end of the plane” parked next to his and saw passengers escape.
Mr Hiscock, 28, who tweeted footage of the passengers leaving the plane using the slide, said fire crews were at the scene.
He said: “I saw a lot of smoke come out from the tail-end of the aircraft. I wondered if it was normal, whether it was just exhaust fumes.
“Then the door opened on the right side of the aircraft and crews deployed slides from the rear and the middle of the plane.
“Next we wondered whether it was a drill, but then we saw they were real passengers. I saw at least one carrying a child.
“It all happened in a matter of seconds. Everyone seemed to be OK.”
