Just looking on the flight status and seen VS75 is in Boston?

Is this a divert due to a medical emergency?

Hope it isn't anything serious.

Could be anything from dire medical emergency to a tech fault to mass brawl - anyway something serious enough for it not to be able to safely contine on.

Might be worth asking mr google in a couple of hours for any news stories.

Well it's just taken off approx 10 mins ago, so like you said, either a medical emergency or a mass brawl and they have been offloaded!

Not ruling out any of the above, but there was heavy thunderstorms over the Northeast Coast which were affecting many flights this evening.

VS1 from LHR to EWR diverted to BDL this evening due bad weather around EWR causing it to close.

It was a medical emergency. Unfortunately a 2 year old became ill on the flight.
