At 5:00pm Pacific Time, Ethiopian Flight 702, a Boeing 767-300 was flying over Sudan when it started squawking 7500. The transponder code, is supposed to indicate a “hijacking.”
(snip)
The flight, operating from Addis Abba to Rome has been confirmed by Rome Airport not to have arrived yet. As of now, it is over France, but has recently taken a steep northeast heading.
Based on flight tracking, it appears the plane is headed to Geneva. Emergency crews are standing by.

Do you mean zero altitude? I saw that on the screen, hopefully they’ve landed and not crashed.
To: Lloyd-right
The pilot possibly has gone out the cockpit window.

All the news that fits? I don’t really know. Blackout? Holiday weekend?

OK, looks like the image keeps moving after it initially stopped. I suppose the image will catch up to reality at some point.

Comment in expressjetpilots.com thread:
Landed in Geneva. Making them hold on the taxiway until authorities arrive.

Not sure about the trust worthiness of the telemetry, but it keeps turning left away from the runway approach, then almost in a wing down slip in the direction of the runway, then another vector left.
