Emergency Alert at Heathrow: A United Airlines Boeing 767-300 was forced into a nerve-wracking overweight landing tonight after a hydraulic failure shortly after takeoff.

Hydraulic Malfunction Sparks Full Scale Emergency

The drama unfolded just before 6pm on Saturday, 1st March 2025, as the US-bound jet reported a serious hydraulic issue. Adding to the tension, the plane was hauling dangerous goods in its aft hold, sparking a full emergency response at Heathrow Airport.

Flights around the airport are expected to face delays due to the emergency operations in progress.
