Singapore Airlines SIN-LHR

fincastle84 - I have put a post in Jet Blast on the SIN-LHR incident with the BBC reporter. It will have been the medical profession that would have said a diversion was not recommended, there was a doctor in attendance and almost certainly communication to other medical specialists on the ground, the captain would have been guided accordingly. Been in a similar situation myself, as a pilot.
