Weird ASA Flight

does anyone know what this was about? seems really interesting

Looks like a diversion for either mechanical or medical problems, by the way (ASA) stands for Alaska Airlines, I’m sure you meant (ASQ) which is ExpressJet.

If you look at the Atlanta area, it looks like there was severe weather at the time. One thunderstorm near the field can screw up ATL arrivals for the entire day.
