dc.description.tableofcontents5. In Britain, the Department of Transport has criticized the actions of a BWIA crew over its handling of an emergency situation. The accident happened on a flight from Frankfurt to St. Lucia, last March. According to the report, the crew of the flight refused to acknowledge that an emergency has taken place after part of an engine covering fell off. The report also said that the British tower had asked the pilot to land at another airport but chose to go to Heathrow. The report concludes that the pilot’s decision was largely based on the inconvenience which would consequently be experienced by the crew after they landed rather than the condition of the plane. In a statement, BWIA rejected the conclusion and supported the pilot’s decision for want of good reason from the air traffic control (10:16-11:50)en_US
