2 x 7700 squawks on a planes headed for JFK
On flight radar app within 15 mins of each other a Kuwait airways 777 and an airfrance a340 squawked 7700 and returned to their origin airports Lhr and Cdg. Both were en route to JFK.
Stranger still the Kuwait air was over the west welsh coast and the air France route showed it going up to the Isle of Man then back.
Why would a plane with an emergency not land at the nearest large airport? Or is flight radar often inaccurate?
