Well that was a bit silly of BA wasn't it...
I stopped flying BA years ago. Glad I did.
This story is complete bollocks.
It held of the coast of Ireland (for an unknown reason) and stopped for a fuel stop in St Johns before continuing to NYC.

I think you are pointing to a different flight. Post is about 2/10 flight which took till 2/11 to complete. You have posted the flight for 2/12. That it is the same flight is and 'alternative fact'. Your post appears to be on a par with your estimation of the Sun.
Pity you didn't check Flightradar24 then:

I remembered seeing the incident on the 12th I didn't expect them to have had another incident two days prior. What a shambles! If the date was in the article I would have not made that mistake.
The newspaper article was dated 13th Feb and said that the incident happened "on Friday". 13th Feb was a Monday, ergo Sunday was 12th, Saturday was 11th and Friday was 10th. It's not rocket science....
