The point was, how do you know it had enough fuel to get to a different airport? Where was the next closest airport? Did that airport have the same high winds? (having just read it was a hurricane) Where was the next airport that didnt have these winds?
And Im guessing it did land normally or it would have been reported that it never.

Probably is the the one word you shouldnt use if you dont have the facts. There is probably a lot of things that shouldnt happen, but do.
