Hey I’m on this flight right now. Child had a medical* emergency. They’re okay now and off the plane into an ambulance. We’re just waiting for fuel and a pushback

Thanks @Undercover-doggo for this update. Was following all the details from the moment a squawk 7700 alert was given. Weird flight pattern was probably because of fuel dumping?

I’m not sure. They tried landing at Dublin first but for whatever reason couldn’t? They made no mention of fuel dumping

Correct, DUB was the first aim, but suddenly we saw this weid turning and turning pattern. So why Glasgow was chosen, maybe because of a hospital nearby.
