"Aircraft forced to return"

Read the KLM flight tracker on KL681, the one Joost was/is on. WTF? Flight#1, ReturnedIndex#1 and Flight#2 stated the tracker (looks like a bloody Java program exercise I once did at the HU), for a while I had no clue. All kind of strange scenario's start to pop up. 911, a technicality (light or severe) and what not else. Keeps you on the edge for a while. It turned out to be a drunk s.o.b. Anything can happen, right. Luckily about an our later as planned they took off. In the meantime he has arrived at Vancouver airport and I am chatting with him, thanks to free WiFi at YVR. Cool technology, eh. Probably he is boarding now and shortly departing for Edmonton where he is welcomed with a Tim Horton's English Toffee Coffee; tooth cracking sweet stuff but every once and a while very drinkable.
