There was only ever one thread in Dunnunda Reporting Points and one thread in our international Rumours and News Forum.

There is also a thread in GA and Questions here, which I'm happy to have as a speculation thread for the arm chair theorists.

"Biggest issue is getting the old man out there to drive the stairs over to the jet. IF the base isn't operational at the time. If it IS, then happy days. Was it operational? No idea? Well then........

In the absence of some sort of structural failure, this is a straightforward case of a diversion followed by medical evacuation of the casualties. The tarts no doubt had to leave the galleys unexpectedly to sort out the wailing punters who'd been without seatbelts so kudos.

Also a lesson for the tarts to be buckled in when sitting in their jumpseats doing nothing. A good idea but rarely seen happening for the same reason the pax don't."
That user's post #6. And you wonder why we need Moderators?
