If it really was a faulty aircraft that the crew warned about, I would expect air-crash investigators to find out, and that should be the end of Air India. I'm not saying it will be, but it should be.

Woke up this morning having hoped that the fam hadn’t realised it was Friday 13th to see this had happened. Thankfully they all avoided the news and landed in London and I don’t think they know even now!
Some comfort I took before getting on my flight was that it probably wasn’t a better time to fly!
My thoughts and condolences with the families of all affected.

I think you've got two and three the wrong way around. You need to seek permission for an emergency landing at your preferred airport.

No he hasn’t. You’re not going anywhere if you can’t fly.
It’s a well known “learning” saying that’s all over PPRUNE.

Yes and the mid gig rants!
Whilst I was a huge fan as a kid, I don’t follow them these days bar odd gig for nostalgia. Does Steve Harris do much media? The press and social media seems to be more Bruce and Nicko but I’d be quite interested to hear more from Harris.

No, Steve is an incredibly reserved character. Of late Bruce and Adrian have been doing the most press what with their respective side projects. Nicko has now retired from touring after his stroke and will be interesting to see how his replacement Simon Dawson fairs in 2 weeks time at the London Stadium gig.

No, 2 and 3 are the right way around.
In a Mayday situation, Air traffic control will bend over backwards to give an aircraft whatever it wants or asks for.... "communicate" isn't just air traffic control, but also the cabin crew with whom they'll be an emergency briefing and the passengers.
Priority is to fly/control aircraft (aviate), then to be situationally aware of direction/terrain/weather/fuel which = time remaining (navigate), then to talk (communicate).
You dont want to be talking to air traffic or cabin crew and flying 50 miles away from airport, into a Thunderstorm or towards terrain!
