Cool

@@artiga15208 they wouldn’t tell us why we were emergency landing. They prepared us for landing about 4.5 hours prior to Winnipeg so they were ready to land the plane at any time

@@ddcok21 Cool! This was the second flight that came in, to take you guys to Chicago. You were likely on the first flight, not this specific aircraft. Right around 0:45 you can see the plane you were on parked. It diverted for a mechanical issue, not sure exactly what happened. Hopefully it all worked out!

@@luke34121 Yes! You are correct, I thought this was 1st plane incoming. Definitely a nerve racking 4 hours from time they announced issues. It was a rear elevator malfunction. I found an article on an aviation page detailing more than the airline ever told us. Even after the fact

I was on my home to Calgary when I saw you guys landing

Why is there another emirates 777 there?

[@luke34121]

The one parked diverted here en route to Chicago the day before with a mechanical issue. This one was to take the passengers and crew to Chicago.
