Is there a flight crew member here who would answer some questions about the use of squawk code 7700?

I get alerts form FlightRadar 24 several times/week that a plane has done this. But the code means "General Emergency." I never see these flights on the news. So I guess the question is what constitutes a general emergency to flight crews sufficient that they will squawk 7700.

Anyone?
