Yalinus started having contractions seven hours into the 12-hour flight.
The pilot requested a landing at the nearest military airport in Canada but was told the runway was too short for the Boeing 767 and continued on to Los Angeles, Sokolov said.
This just seems wrong. Would put them up by Yellowknife NWT, later come Edmonton and Calgary, even before the US border. Can NONE of these handle/be bothered to handle a 767 medical diversion ?
