Thanks for all posts so far.....points taken on certain issues....however I merely posted my original message to try and gleen some possible information on what may have happened from person(s) who may have direct/indirect knowledge of the flight....not to make a fuss or receive a lecture (Dan Air) on how good everone is who flies an aircraft and how greatful we should be that we all made it back in one piece.
I've not 'slagged' anyone off nor accused or apportioned any blame, just set the scenario and asked a question. Having never been in that situation before, I was just wondering/interested if anyone knew the technical reason for the diversion.
Seems I've touched a raw nerve in certain areas......after all, how dare the fare paying passenger ask for information or query a pilots decision?
