Seems to be it was T3, and the flyertalk dude got it wrong.

Maybe the explosive disposal unit was dispatched to the wrong terminal

787-9, the newest one.

AC894 is returning to YYZ.

Ironically, the following is the only additional flight info "RMKS/OTP CRITICAL DUE TO MXP MEDIA EVENT ON ARRIVAL"

Update: heard through the grapevine it was due to being unable to retract the gear door.

Unclaimed cell phone diverts Air Canada flight to Regina

REGINA – An emergency plan has been activated at the Regina International Airport after a flight heading to Toronto from Edmonton was diverted to the Queen City.

canadiancow

Am I the only one who thinks an inappropriate response in any situation is "Gee, there's a [insert item] sitting here. I should take it across the country."

Make an announcement on the plane. If no one claims it, let the local airport lost and found deal with it.

Marlin240

Maybe the individual thought someone might call and claim it while inflight.

But, yes, to the person who thought this was somehow a good idea as opposed to letting security deal with it. What's next? The unattended luggage that's ticking?

canadiancow

I don't even mean from a security perspective. More from a "theft" perspective. Sometimes people leave their phone in the bathroom at work (on the sink/counter).

I could leave it there. I could take it back to my desk and leave a note in the bathroom saying I've recovered it and where it can be found. If I can unlock it, I can call the last called number and try to find the owner.

But I'm not going to take it home with me. Or out of the building. OR ACROSS THE COUNTRY
