Except Geneva only has one paved runway - 05 - 23. No left and right parallel runways there.
OK, thanks.
Ethiopian Bird of Prey decloaking to starboard!
Weird, no doubt.
Bump for updates
No, even if an engine flamed out, they’d trim the control surfaces to correct for that real quick.
I wouldn’t trust Bing to tell me what color the sky is.
The BBC is now on it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26222674
Those plots are never all that accurate, especially overseas. It landed, taxied, and stopped a while ago. The crew went out the cockpit windows.
Negotiations are under way and the passengers might be released by now.
ATC radio traffic is the most accurate info.
Last radio traffic was that passengers would be disembarking in 5 minutes, but that was more than 5 minutes ago.
No word yet on what happened with the hijacker(s) or the air marshal that should have been on the flight.
The 767 had a military escort the last part of the flight, but those planes do not show up on flightradar.

Mis à jour le 17.02.2014
Un vol d’Ethiopian Airlines s’est posé lundi matin sur le tarmac de Cointrin après avoir été détourné. Le pirate de l’air a été arrêté. L’aéroport est fermé.
According to Google translation of the Swiss article cited in one of the British articles, the airport is closed the “hijacker” (singular) has been arrested.
EA should explain why their website indicated this flight arrived at it’s destination while it was still circling another country.
Did Obama’s healthcare team design it?
The news agencies may have been embargoed. or maybe they just learned of it when there was a police blotter.
There are news accounts NOW.
NOTHING during.
Bump to FR.
