Hi guys,
A friend of mine gave me a call today as he was looking on his SBS and wondered what 7700 was used for. I told him it was for an emergency and he explained how Continental Flight 11 was squawking 7700 and appeared to turn south around Birmingham. I live in Milton Keynes and could see the B777 myself which appeared to be diverting to London. The aircrafts original routing was Paris Charles de Gaulle to Houston Texas.
Does anyone have any info on what was wrong?
Heres a screenshot my friend took using his SBS..
