A routine maintenance test flight over northwest England drew widespread attention after its flight path appeared to spell out 'I'm bored' on the Flightradar24 flight-tracking website. A Delta Air Lines flight traveling from Paris to Seattle made an unexpected stop in London after the crew reported a mechanical issue involving an onboard lavatory, the airline said. Delta Flight 81 departed Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport Aug. 13 bound for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport when the issue prompted the flight crew to divert to London Heathrow Airport. The Airbus A330-900 was carrying 209 passengers and 13 crew members at the time, according to information provided by Delta. As the aircraft approached Heathrow, the flight crew declared an emergency with air traffic control because the plane would be making an overweight landing, the airline said. FLAM
