Just seen on our news in Vancouver:
It's still on the ground at YVR, being inspected by Airbus, BA and the TSB.
Lots of complaints about lack of info, not much help in getting hotels and lack of seat availability on alternative flights.
Not really surprising given that BA only have one flight from YVR (in the evening) and there aren't many alternatives that don't involve a stop off on the way or that will get you back less than about 24hrs later.
It was apparently originally supposed to divert to Calgary, but I doubt they can handle an A380 there and the imminent (next week!) opening of the new international terminal there probably didn't help...
