Direct Crosswinds gusting to nearly 60mph at times might have had a little to do with it too...

Any idea if they plan to continue that flight & aircraft to PHX today (Friday) or just somehow get the passengers from LAX and have the plane return to Heathrow, straight from LAX?  I've been looking at Flightaware this morning, but don't see anything.

Update on the diversion.

BAW9604 has just filed a flight plan from LAX to PHX.  Scheduled to arrive at 2:42 this afternoon.

So it looks like we are going to have two BA 747's in PHX tonight.
