I wonder why the emergency stop wasn’t made in Anchorage. Trans Pacific flights go considerably north of Hawaii.

From Japan, sure. Where did this flight originate? I doubt flights from Australia fly that route.

Typical reportage, AP reports the destination, but not the origin. *sigh*

Most do just for this reason, in order to stay close to land.
This flight was going straight across.

Typically Eastbound flights follow jet streams that are much farther south. Westbound flights typically go north away from the jet stream.
