Does anybody know what happened to the VS on track 'S' last night? Last heard maintaining FL380 and turning back to YYT.
More info on a couple of incidents here

From the linked article:
The aircraft was scheduled to depart again within the hour so a technical issue is ruled out but it is not yet confirmed that the diversion was medical.It didn't depart, so it doesn't rule out a technical issue, though statistically more likely to have been a medical diversion, with the crew now out of hours.
There was 2 diversion in yyz last night, both medical, one was a pilot, so I was told...

Ok, thanks. I must say that the remaining pilot sounded as if it was all under control.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the one taken ill.

Using IATA or ICAO codes only helps if you get them right. :O
Or were there similar diversions into Pearson as well ?
