It was a paperwork issue resulting in 247 very p*ssed off passengers.
This was nothing to do with the crew, I believe they received a ACARS message to return to base when they were nearing the Canadian coast.

One wonders whether they should've continued and paid the fine? Anyone know roughly how much it would've been?

9 hours? That's nothing! Early hours of a night shift and we had a B747-400 return to base after 13 hours in the sky, they had suffered an electrical failure that meant they hadn't had use of any toilets for 6 hours! The crew had a good sense of humour, especially when I asked if they needed anywhere to dump
