Keira Knightley was caught in a terrifying thunderstorm while flying back to London after the oscars ceremony in Los Angeles last week. The jet, which also had Kylie Minogue’s fiancé olivier Martinez on board, had to be diverted from a landing at Heathrow to nearby Luton airport as a result of the severe weather conditions. Keira then had to be driven to London as Luton staff didn’t have the tow-bar needed to get the plane back on its way to Heathrow. A British Airways spokesperson says, “A special Jumbo tow-bar had to be sent from Heathrow by road. As time was dragging we ferried passengers there by coach.” [13 March 2006]
