A Thai Airways flight had to dump fuel in the English Channel and turn back to Heathrow moments after take-off - when the pilot was told that a cargo door was open. The flight left London at 9:35pm on Wednesday but during the ascent, a warning light appeared showing that the cargo hold door was not shut securely. Airline officials eventually found that the door was secure but there was a problem with the warning light system. 'Flight engineers took about two hours to check the whole aircraft. A passenger onboard the Thai Airways flight tweeted: 'Can't believe that of all planes, the one I'm on had to turn back to Heathrow an hour into the journey TG917.
