LX 8, ZRH-ORD diverted to Milwaukee

Waiting for LX 9, ORD-ZRH, and was surprised to hear that LX 8 (the inbound aircraft) was diverted to Milwaukee. Apparently there was severe congestion due to the President's departure at ORD, so the flight must have circled too long and ran low on fuel.

Probably the first time Milwaukee Airport has seen a SWISS aircraft, or even a widebody!
