Emergency landing in DUB AA155

AA was heading from LHR to BOS

From @NWairspace
Dublin Airport has confirmed American Airlines 155 has landed safely after having declared an emergency en route to Boston from London

and @DublinAirport
Some aircraft diversions as a result of aircraft incident earlier. Passengers should contact their airline's website for a status update.

Sounds like a runway's been closed for inspections and they're inspecting where the aircraft is standing. AA's being told nothing to apologise for!

May I be the first to speculate.

Fuel/oil leak. It would explain the closed runway.

Problems with the nose steering.

It landed on 10. Runway 16 has just reopened following an inspection.

That's just a symptom of the initial hydraulics problem that caused them to divert

Saw about 8 making lovely circles over holyhead and liffy for about half an hour so I can't imagine O'Leary's a happy bunny.
