A British Airways flight from the United States capital of Washington, DC, to the bustling city of London encountered a slight hiccup on Saturday as it was forced to make an unplanned landing due to a bird strike. The flight, known as 216, departed from Dulles International Airport at approximately 5:30 p.m. and was diverted to Boston Logan International Airport nearly two hours later. The decision to divert was made by the experienced crew after they reported a potential bird strike and detected fumes on board the aircraft. The incident, while concerning, was handled smoothly and without any major disruptions
