Making a De-Tour

7 Oct 2010 - A China Eastern flight from Shanghai is scheduled to land in Hong Kong at 11 am. Shortly before landing in Hong Kong, the pilot announces that the plane needs to make a de-tour to Hainan island due to weather conditions. At 2 pm, the flight heads to Hong Kong again, but as the plane approaches for the second time the pilot announces that they need to return to Shanghai due to bad weather. En route to Shanghai, the plane changes course again and suddenly lands in Fujian. No explanation is given why the plane makes the detour to Fujian  An investigation is started as it is suspected that the pilot has mental problems. China Eastern has "no comment", but please keep this story in mind when you book your next flight.
