Emergencies happen everyday everywhere. Either it is something technical or a human factor is involved and someone gets sick forcing the plane to divert and land. One of the latter happened a couple days ago when Speedbird 232 from Moscow to London had to land in Warsaw due to medical reasons. I don't want to go into what exactly happened, let him rest in peace. Every cloud has a silver lining. The Boeing 777-236/ER G-VIIH which was operating on the rotation landed in Warsaw at around 6:10pm LT and departed again to London after 2 hours. Luckily for us, spotters from Warsaw, the plane parked on one of the new stands, PPS12 (which itself is a great topic for a different entry). We were able to stand a couple of meters in front of the plane and take photos from basically any frontal angle. Here are some pictures I took and want to share with all of you.
I send my sincere condolences to the family.
