United flight UA 142 from Houston to Lagos diverted to Washington
« on: December 05, 2015, 23:00:45 UTC »
The audio file posted here contains transmissions between the aircraft and Washington (KIAD).  The diversion occurred approximately 3 hours into the flight when the aircraft was over the Atlantic, north east of Bermuda. Flightradar24 tracking the flight shows a 200kts drop in speed at that time.
Although it seems no emergency was called, the controller mentions that a fire truck is in attendance on the ramp at Washington.
Is it possible/likely that the LiveATC archives could include communications from the area where the aircraft turned back to the USA?
