Flight AAL57 bound for Miami just returned to EGLL/LHR after they squawked a 7700, which, if i am correct means general emergency?

Hmm, maybe search it up or ask an aviation geek around here? Sounds pretty unusualā¦ :-/
I cant upload the pics because of āunauthorized file?ā
Lol @Captain_DJ, those were the exact photos I was trying to attach!
Well the tweet says ātech problemā
Will be interesting to see what kind of tech problem specifically
7700 = General Emergency
7600 = Radio Failure
7500 = Hijacking

Itās just what it says, general emergency.
General covers a very large amount of stuff. There was quite recently a blog post about this:
The last few lines and headings states this:
Whatās the one thing you would want passengers or people tracking a flight to know about aircraft emergencies?
Donāt assume the the aircraft has, or is, suffering a catastrophic failure of some kind. Get the facts before issuing a āBreaking Newsā headline on social media.
Anyways, as you probably understand, this could be anything.
As @Keegan_Gidley said
7700 = General Emergency = āseven seven near to heavenā
7600 = Radio failure = āseven six Radio makes just
clicksā
7500 = skyjack = āseven five man with a knifeā

Probably medical, you see quite a lot of those.
Read it somewhere, I donāt know. I think it was in another forum. Helps a bit to bookmark the different Squawks.

If you have Flight Radar 24 you can set it so you will get a notification every time an aircraft squawks
Yea but 7600 are kinda spammy since GAs always suffer from itā¦
Just got another squawk reportā¦AAL717 from Munich to Philadelphia squawking 7700.
To those who donāt knowā¦
AvHerald is the place for such newsā¦ :)
Re-directed to Manchester for emergency landing
Any updates on this flight? Iām wondering what happened in the end?
