A British Airways flight with 180 people on board came close to disaster after stalling at 4,000 feet over London, according to the London Evening Standard.
The incident occurred moments before the aircraft was due to land, the newspaper reports. The stall placed the jet "seconds from disaster," according to the outlet.
The London Evening Standard attributes the near-miss to a pilot error. The Sun also reports that a pilot blunder caused the incident. The Times of India describes the event as a "close shave" for the UK plane.
The Metro.co.uk and The Nightly also covered the story, with The Nightly calling it a "terrifying mid-air scare" caused by a pilot's mistake. Investigators are now examining the circumstances of the stall, which happened over a densely populated urban area.
This incident adds to a series of high-profile safety scares in UK aviation. Authorities will likely review cockpit procedures and training in response.
