The excitement for June 1999: On the trip back to London, a man in first class had some sort of medical emergency. "If there is a doctor on board, please notify the flight attendant."

For early landings such as these, they must dump some of the fuel to lighten the plane before touchdown. Here's what it looks like from inside.
