EK 380 Diversion to Ottawa and Low Fuel Emergency

Emirates A380 (EK 241) to Toronto went around in Toronto due to wind shear and decided to divert to Ottawa.

CYYZ 012000Z 09017G25KT 12SM VCSH OVC007 13/12 A2964 RMK SF8 SLP040

The weather in Toronto has been really bad for the whole day and the approach was made after few holdings on R/W 15R. It went around at short finals due to windshear warning (as told to ATC). After the GA, they requested a R/W 05 approach which was denied by ATC. Then the diversion to Ottawa was declared and was given the radar vectors.

There is a report on another forum that a Mayday was declared due to low fuel but I never heard it. Anyway, It just landed in Ottawa with reportedly 12 fire trucks following.
