Looks like this flight diverted to LGA was only one of quite a few diversions. I've compiled the following flights bound for EWR this evening, which were diverted. It appears a number have since continued onward to EWR, but some still remain at the diversion airport.

Judging by the number of flights from Spanish-Speaking origins which diverted to Syracuse, I wonder if perhaps they had staff which spoke spanish, or if it was just a coincidence.

Not sure if any of these flights actually deplane into the terminal, but for those who diverted to Newburgh, there is but a small newsstand after security.
