Curious where all the inbound flights are diverted to. Anyone know of a good place to visualize it?

This BA flight for example looks like it went all the way back to LHR, was denied landing clearance, and is looking for somewhere to touch down in western Europe: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BAW680

Previously when I have been diverted from IST (due to weather) we have gone to Bursa Yenişehir Airport (YEI), there is another airport.

Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) is closer and may have been used in preference.

Those are the two closest international airports.
