Well I can recall one because I was on board, very similar. LAX-LHR, CAT over the Rockies, several pax and crew in a poor way, burned off fuel and diverted to Chicago, several offloaded.
Continuing when you are mid-ocean is one thing, when you are overhead major cities (or only 2 hours out of base) but ABOUT to head out over Siberia (or the Atlantic) with injured persons on board is another.
