So I don't know if this should be here (or this is even something new). In one of the cases I will gladly remove this post.
But a small 172 (probably) made a diversion to: a local highway. Ducking under the signs and bridge.

Seems QR from IAD is now in BRU

[sn26567]

A7-BAJ (B777-300ER). Probably medical: departure is foreseen very soon.

The outbound flight QR707 DOH-IAD had also been diverted, to Baltimore (BWI), before continuing to IAD. Which led to a serious delay for the return flight QR708. This delay will be compounded even more with the unscheduled stop in BRU
