A British Airways crewmember accidentally deployed the aircraft&#x2019;s emergency slide at London&#x2019;s Heathrow Airport on Monday morning, delaying the flight for hours. The flight, which was scheduled to fly to Brussels, was delayed for nearly three hours after the employee error, a British Airways spokesperson told Fox Business Digital on Tuesday. &quot;We apologized to customers for the delay and our teams worked hard to arrange a replacement aircraft so customers were able to travel with us as planned,&quot; the spokesperson said in a statement. No customers were aboard the aircraft at the time of the incident, and emergency services responded as part of a standard precautionary measure, the spokesperson said. 2 DEAD BODIES DISCOVERED IN LANDING GEAR OF JETBLUE PLANE  A source told the Sun that the crewmember&#x2019;s mistake was &quot;the most basic of errors,&quot; though a costly blunder.
