Note the comma on the first sentence:

Passengers have been evacuated from a plane at Manchester Airport following a technical problem experienced in mid-air, shortly after take-off.

I hope they were given parachutes!

Quote of second paragraph in case they edit it:

Etihad Airways flight EY22 to Abu Dhabi left Manchester at 19:28 GMT but performed a loop before returning to the airport 30 minutes later.

I think it would have more than ‘.... a small fire at the back’ after a loop. Original has now been edited BTW, so thanks for capturing that bit @riverrock

No wonder there was a pressurisation problem. Have you seen the girt big pole stuck through its underside in the Beeb picture?

Landing back after 10 minutes suggests a max landing mass near the takeoff mass.

I must admit I missed that one -

What will they think of next... :lol:
