While the consensus here seems to be that it was for the Browns... and it very well may be... keep in mind that with this insane weather we're having in the Midwest, planes are all over the place right now.
ORD closed for a portion of yesterday afternoon, and lots of planes ended up scattered across the Midwest. At DTW, we got a BA 744 LHR-ORD, a UA 777 LHR-ORD... and an LX 332 from ZRH. In fact, the LX plane never made it out last night... and it sat at the DTW charter terminal all night until it made the jaunt to ORD at 7:00 tonight -- delayed AGAIN due to the second-round of storms passing through that shut-down DTW for a while.
So, again, there are planes scattered all over the Midwest this week from weather diversions.
