British Airway B747-400 Diverts To CYWG Medical Emergency
« on: February 27, 2010, 07:48:15 PM »
"A British Airways Boeing 747-400, registration G-CIVS performing flight BA-269 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Los Angeles,CA (USA), diverted to Winnipeg,MB (Canada) after a male passenger (age about 20-30) became unconscious a second time during the flight. A doctor on board attended the passenger starting with the first unconsciousness. The airplane landed safely, the passenger was handed over to medical services and fell unconscious a third time while being moved out of the airplane.

The airplane reached Los Angeles with a delay of 2.5 hours."

The feed from CYWG scans APP/DEP/TWR, so I got most of the approach and landing.
Nicely handled by the controllers at CYWG!
