I think
Jenbel is referring to the incident when the 010 diverted to the middle of nowhere in Kazakhstan (not Almaty or Astana, much more remote) with a fire warning. BA ops were able to get a trio of Airbii in within 12 hours to get all the pax out and a relief crew in to fly the stranded 747 home. Didn't it turn out to be bees in the end?
