My friend was on this flight and apparently they had some sort of emergency, but I can't find any information about it and can't get a hold of her.

Would anyone here happen to know what might have happened? From the flight-stats, it seemed like it left the gate 132 minutes late, and then later on it was diverted mid-flight to land in Dulles international airport.

This was yesterday, August 4th. They were on an Airbus A300-600.

Thanks in advance. I hope this is the right forum to post in.

That shows the divert but no more, so may presume flight terminated at Dulles, pax relayed on other flight numbers?

If AA (site or customer services) can't tell you - not many can!! If you had relatives on the flight, then customer services should be able to help you.
