Watching flight BOX412 on Flight radar

Sorry for my lameness in asking this, my flight radar app on my iPad popped up with a squawk. So I opened the app up to see, it was just off the coast of Scotland and performed a uturn. Was at FL320, it's currently at FL210 by Darlington. I was wondering why if it has done a u turn and has problems, why has it not gone to the nearest airport? If there is a problem, which is severe enough to turn round then why not land at the nearest airport?
