Can this info be seen with KVS? FLIFO gives the following, but doesn't show the reasons for the delays.

Thought I was going to misconnect because of this but my connecting flight, AA 1664 MIA-ORD, was delayed 45 minutes due to late arriving aircraft due to a deicing delay up the line. Proof that everything evens out eventually!

Found out that JFK-DUB diverted to LHR due to weather at DUB. Then suffered a mechanical before leaving to DUB. Strange there's no info of that on Expert Flyer?
