Looking at it's flight path, I wonder why they didn't land at Mahon.

Interesting microcosm of the modern internet watching this on Twitter. Loads of hysteria for and against Islam, massive jumps and assumptions, wild rumours and the odd voice of reason being drowned out but seemingly proved correct.

It's almost like people want a tragedy to happen to be able to have a rant.

Good news. Looked further to turn and come home than carry on (or land in Minorca).

It's almost like people want a tragedy to happen to be able to have THE SAME rant again.
