If someone's bored on a Saturday, there might be something to find on Swiss Flight 39 SFO-ZRH departing last night, November 15. Otherwise I'll take a listen when I return (hopefully) from Zurich.
The flight diverted back to SFO over Idaho due to a passenger medical emergency that arose within an hour after departure. I'm scratching my head a bit at what could have been bad enough to turn the flight back, but didn't merit putting the plane on the ground in SLC, RNO, SMF or even GTF. I can't imagine dumping fuel took that long.

Thanks to anyone who goes digging on my behalf - and to everyone who cuts together audio clips!
