The U.S. official said the United States requested the flight be diverted to Bangor, Maine, but British Airways asked for permission to return to London.

I doubt it and I bl**dy well hope they didn't ask.
When did the DOHs get sovereignty over the mid-Atlantic (or maybe Canada or wherever the flight was @ 3-hours from LHR) ?
