'Laser Incident' Forces Jet to Return to London | 15 Feb 2016 | A Virgin Atlantic flight to New York has been forced to return to Heathrow Airport after a laser beam was pointed at the plane – prompting urgent action in the cockpit. Audio of the plane's exchange with air traffic control describes one of the pilots having a “medical issue” following the incident, which occurred “six or seven miles” west of Heathrow. Virgin confirmed Flight VS025 to JFK – which had 252 passengers and 15 crew on board – had been abandoned as a “precautionary measure” after the plane's First Officer reported “feeling unwell”.
