Sorry I have zero sympathy for passengers who get annoyed at a diversion that happens for a technical or safety, or welfare related reason.
If there was a concern about the performance of a technical part of this aircraft (which there obviously was) the Captain, bearing in mind he or she has responsibility for the aircraft and the passengers and crew on that aircraft, has a decision to make. If his/her decision is to divert (decision never taken lightly) then it tells me the information available to this flight crew created enough of a concern to prioritise safety and in my opinion that should never be criticised, indeed it should be respected.

Just to clarify, as I mentioned on post #2866 the "annoyed" bit was not a criticism to the crew's decision.

I meant as in annoyed with her luck, rather than with Aer Lingus.

It's not a bad call if the passengers safety was at risk.

It's curious why they diverted to Shannon. Makes you wonder if the issue was only noted during descent? Otherwise, coming from where they did (distance wise), they should have been able to continue to Dublin...

Chilling stuff. It's not looking good for the pilot's decision making - could they have gotten away with no reporting of the issue had they not reported an emergency, to get immediate permission to land? Such a gambling attitude...

There was also a low flying single engine plane doing laps between the airport and Portmarnock. Must have been part of some survey/inspection also.

Impressive stats!

140 kts over target area
24,000 US Gal payload

That's some tech and skill in action!

One of the fire-fighting planes sent to Israel is just over Wicklow now..... no destination confirmed but assuming the USA

I had no idea that a 747 could fight fire!

GLF5 N80AD. I haven't determined the operator yet but the non-standard colour scheme may be a clue:

There was a second 727 in SNN just before that also M-STAR. Rare to see two of these birds in the one day.

Pavement upgrade woks, ducting/site works, and relocation of runway/edge/taxiway lighting.
