British Airways turns plane back over cell phone

A flight from London to New York turned back turned back on Sunday after the mobile phone was heard ringing at the back of the plane, reports the AP.

"None of the 217 passengers on board the plane appeared to own the phone and despite BA's security team at Heathrow being consulted and it being decided that it was safe for the plane to continue its journey, the captain turned back as a precautionary measure."
