Apparently we almost had a British Airways A380 divert here last night, BA286 operating SFO-LHR started heading our way but ultimately ended up at YVR. We had very low ceilings and visibility, but apparently it was a big enough deal that they bypassed us for Vancouver. Anyone have details as to what happened?

Edit: Apparently 25(!) members of the crew became ill and were sent to Vancouver hospitals for smoke inhalation. All passengers are safe.
