Second American Airlines Flight Grounded Over Mystery Illness
For the second time in two days, an American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after passengers and crew fell ill. On Thursday flight 904, which left Rio de Janeiro at 10.16pm enroute for Miami, was diverted to Brasilia after four people, including three crew members, complained of lightheadedness. On Wednesday flight 109 from London to Los Angeles was forced to turn back to Heathrow after around 15 people, both passengers and crew were struck down by a mystery illness.
