Leaving with heavy heart

A FLIGHT from Seattle to Dallas was forced to turn back after a human heart was left on board.

The plane was flying over eastern Idaho and 600 miles into its journey on Thursday when staff discovered the “life critical cargo shipment”.

The organ was meant to have been delivered to a Seattle hospital.

A Southwest Airlines spokesman said: “Once we realised the error we immediatel­y worked to return to Seattle.”
