About 4 hours into the flight, while crossing the Atlantic, the aircraft turned around and the pilots squawked 7700 (general emergency) due to a broken winshield.

The flight landed safely on runway 27R at London Heathrow at 15.05 BST while the flight operations were switched to runway 27L.

Your flight is canceled because we needed to take the plane out of service to address a technical issue.
