British Airways flight BA-295 from Heathrow to Chicago O'Hare returned to Heathrow after a pressurization failure that dropped oxygen masks at 36,000 feet over the Irish Sea. The 30-year-old Boeing 777-200 made an emergency descent of 27,000 feet, circled for over an hour to burn fuel, and landed safely. All 237 passengers may be due £520 each, or £123,240 total, in UK-261 compensation.
