Emergency Plane Landings - where to find details??
Discussion
Strange question really.
I was on a plane that made an emergency landing in 2010 and was hoping to find details of it online. I found a record ages ago but haven't been able to since. Anyone know anywhere to look for this stuff? It was Korea Air, flying from Seoul to Manchester in August 2010.
Thanks in advance!

It depends a bit on the context: an emergency call out may turn out to be for a false alarm, in which case the details will probably be lost in a sea of technical engineering data, little of which will appear online. Even if there was a genuine problem, I imagine the outcome was successful, so there's probably little evidence online about it. Occasionally you'll get banner headlines when it's a slow news day, but, if something big kicked off was kicking of at the same time, it'll barely register. A bit more detail may trigger memories though I was on a plane that made an emergency landing in 2010 and was hoping to find details of it online.

It did turn out to be a false alarm. Engine fire warning on a 747. Landed at Irkutsk in Russia.I'm sure they were known as Korair at the time.

Ah...good result for you, bad result for Google, then. The chances of retrieving info on a Korean airliner, that landed in Russia, 10 years ago, after a precautionary diversion...somewhere around the same odds as hitting Mars with a ping pong ball, I'm afraid. Is it natural curiosity, or did you leave something in the overhead locker..?
I was telling as guy at work about it and wanted to flesh it out a bit. There was an amateur looking website that did actually have a record of it but is like the haystack with a needle in it.Eric Mc said:
Never heard of Korair.
Have you any items from the flight, such as a ticket or a receipt.
The state airline of Korea is Korean Airlines and has been for decades.
It’s been Korean Air since the mid 80s Have you any items from the flight, such as a ticket or a receipt.

Ok......point taken and thoroughly absorbed. Myabe the shortening of Korean to Korea is what I remember.It's never been Korair, as far as I'm aware.
You said Korair and he said Korean airlines it’s Korean air.
You were only three letters out and he was five.
Plus he told you off twice for using the wrong name.
