1/15/2008 UA 901 FRA-SFO diverted to OAK [Updated 2010 News Reports]

Just saw on the news and confirmed by UAL.COM.

FRA-SFO UA 901 was diverted to OAK due to fuel! Apparently there is some cargo on that flight that is deemed as "life saving." Seems like someone at Stanford Medical center is awaiting a bone marrow transplant and the marrow was on the flight from FRA. They are now questioning if the marrow is still good. Saw this on local ABC affiliate.
