I had a push notification from the Flightradar24 app on my iPhone about this flight squawking 7700. At the point when I received the notification and started watching it was just south of Nice and already down to 10,000ft. It continued at FL100 up the coast before turning right across the water and then left to make its descent into Genova from the East of the airport. I wondered for a while if it was going to continue all the way to Milan at FL100 given that it hadn't landed at Nice which was clearly its nearest option after the problem had arisen.

Anyway, just awaiting the usual party to kick off on the Daily Mail now!
