An aircraft holding now north east of Shannon.

Several aircraft due for takeoff delayed, runway closed for another 15 minutes.

Reports on FB was that it was medical, however worth noting the quality of alot posted on there now has gone down big time. Although, could it have possibly been both? According to the little bit of ATC I listened to they were dumping fuel.

Quite plausible to be honest as it appears to be from the area of the dump valves so possibly one stuck open.

Seems to be both. From what I can see, the fuel leak developed while fuel dumping.

No it was a fuel leak, wait till you see the pictures of it, still a decent amount of fuel leaking even on short finals.

Just going to post that.
Having a smoke outside and it flew right in front of me coming in to land.
Very quiet plane.
737’s are louder.

A380 diverting into shannon at the moment...air France

Noticed the Norwegian EDI-PVD diverting into Dublin earlier, anyone any idea why? Think it took off again a little after.

Just watched OY-SRL pass over on approach to DUB. Is it for specialist cargo perhaps?

As above, it's the weeknightly cargo service that routes SNN-DUB-CGN.

Is it the regular Star Air flight? Nightly possibly?

Is it big money to replace the slides and overwing windows?

I expect that the overwing windows will just be put back into their slots again, the slides are expensive but generally they will be sent away to be repacked rather than replaced.
The cockpit CVR should have the Captains announcement, it will be interesting to hear what he actually said and compare it to what people think he said.
btw, the slides are replaceable, lives are not.

There was something about this on the RTE Radio news at noon. Unfortunately, it was as Gaeilge and all those years were wasted on me!!

Just going on what I've heard that it was an unordered evacuation, the fact that they had sufficient time to attach stairs to the back and front of the aircraft and that it looks a lot like people on the wings actually waited to get back into the aircraft, I'd wager that there was no order to evacuate given. It seems more like someone jumped the gun sitting at the emergency doors and it led to a chain reaction. However we don't know for definite!

The stairs may have been attached after the wing doors had been opened.

I think it all boils down to what, if anything, was said by way of announcement. If the word "evacuate" was actually used then no blame should attach to the door-openers. They will have been thinking, "the others are depending on me to open these doors and the possible consequences if I don't".

Hopefully, someone who was on board will come on here and tell us! Better still people usually have their phones recording events on board

I'm being devil's advocate here but maybe they were or thought they were.

Looking at the video/photos the overwing doors were removed on both sides of the aircraft so more than one person made a decision.

If they had been briefed by the CC to open the doors if an announcement was made to evacuate they would have been waiting, at the ready, to go. I read in one of the newspaper reports that a passenger said that the Captain gave the instruction to "leave all bags and evacuate". I don't think it would be unreasonable to believe, hyped up as they would have been, that meant they should open the doors.

Im sorry but that’s a very dangerous attitude to have. The captain and crew are employed and trained to make decisions on these situations. They have more information, knowledge and insight to what’s going on and if they ask you to disembark patiently then that’s exactly what you should do. Because the captain has obviously deemed it safe to do that.
Panicking and making your own decisions to f@ck everyone else and what they say is a lethal attitude to have. You could end up in much more danger.
Remember the Hudson crash? The flight attendant elected NOT to open the doors at the rear of the cabin as she considered the water level outside was too high. She directed passengers toward the front of the cabin. One man physically pushed her out of the way and opened one of the back doors. Thank god everyone got out ok but that could have potentially lead to the aircraft flooding much faster and been fatal.

I'd have to agree, there's many people injured during an evacuation down slides, which is one of the reasons why I understand that they don't issue an evacuation order with ease. These passengers probably put themselves in more danger by opening the slides, than if they simply followed instructions by the trained flight crew.

Anyone know if LVP's are in place at LHR at the moment? My flight this afternoon is already showing as delayed Think the same happened yesterday but they recovered as the fog cleared early

They most certainly are in place at the moment yes, currently 200m visibility, however should improve soon.
