The diversion of flight WN1240 to KOMA was reported by @FlightBreaking but the reason for the diversion was not given and it is not apparent  from the attached ATC broadcasts. The aircraft was able to continue on to Phoenix after about 1 hour on the ground.
Does anyone have any information?

Tracked down some Center feeds. Sound like it was a passenger medical and they first wanted to divert to Des Moines but went to Omaha instead because they had more airline personnel there. Working on a clip right now; will update this when I finish it.

Edit: Audio is up! Unfortunately, the receiver for the ZMP feed they changed to is down, which also means no approach feeds. Oh, well. At least I found something...
