Anyone know what the problem is with AF008, B772 CDG -JFK?
Flew orbits over south east London at FL200. Now appears to be headed back to Paris.

It was most certainly an emergency given the declaration of such by the crew and selection of 7700.
It was holding to burn off fuel for a possible divert to LL. Cracked windscreen. The crew decided to burn off the remaining excess by diverting back to Paris where it landed safely.
