Looks like the Nagoya-DTW segment has diverted to SEA, still a half hour out as I write this. Reasons unknown... perhaps someone at DL could enlighten us. Usually either a medical diversion or a mechanical diversion.

The only additional thing EF says, is, that the DTW/ATL leg is stubbed to DL9828, which is in the air running 2 minutes late at 3:46 PM.
The DTW/SEA leg simply doesn't make any sense, as it the flight flies MNL/NGO/DTW/ATL, but changes aircraft types at DTW from a B744 to a B76W.

DL 630 was scheduled to operate MNL-NGO-DTW using N661US.
According to Flightstats, after arrival in NGO but prior to departure NGO-DTW, a decision was made to instead operate via SEA.
As this decision was posted prior to departure from NGO, this suggests a possibility of a mechanical reason for an 8 hour leg NGO-SEA vs the scheduled nearly 12 hour leg NGO-DTW.

The plane left NGO almost 5 hours late. The stop in SEA probably has something to do with crew timing out. N661US will be on its way back across the Pacific as DL629, to NGO and MNL, some 5 hours late because of the late arrival. So it does not look like the plane had a mechanical that required follow-up in DTW.

I'll add that this was likely caused by mechanical problems on N669US, since it flew the MNL-NGO leg, and did not fly the NGO-DTW(SEA) leg. N661US was ferried over from NRT, and that's where the 5 hour delay came from.

Yes. A friend on the flight mentioned that there were mechanical problems with N669US, and there was another 747S ferried in from NRT. Don't know why it specifically diverted to SEA, but probably as you mentioned crew time out.
