Yeah … we’re guessing the whole thing seemed even more disconcerting to Bellamkonda when he realized United didn’t seem to be aware of any of it:
@shashib We hope everyone is safe. Please provide us the flight number. ^JH

Uh, shouldn’t you know if one of your planes makes an emergency landing?
@ahockley we were enroute to Boston and have an emergency landing in Wilmington DE
