After the incident which occurred overhead a major city flight continued for, what, 9 hours, then when it arrived 9 pax taken to hospital.
For those who say that Russian medical standards leave something to be desired then Helsinki was about 30 mins away.
What sort of operation is this ?
Pretty standard I'd say... Injuries do not sound too serious - but more importantly, I am sure the crew / Pax assessed them and/or communicated with the ground as part of the decision making process.
I am aware of numerous instances, up to and including broken bones, where flights have "continued". I cannot recall, but am sure there are some, where flights have diverted...
