Ethiopian Airlines Flight 702 made multiple loops over the airport before landing, according to Flightradar24.com, a website that tracks fights. Flightradar24 With a graphic from that site. Is that site traditionally cited following hijackings? Or did some journalist(s) read this thread to get the play by play and a map to more info?
There wasn't a scrap of detail to be found online last night.

The high-altitude drama started when the chief pilot of the Boeing 767-300 left the airliner's cockpit to use the toilet, said Robert Deillon, chief executive of the Geneva airport. The hijacker then locked the cockpit door and took control of the aircraft, he said. Is it possible for the pilot to trigger the hijacking beacon signal from outside the cockpit or did the co-pilot trigger it to alert other air traffic controllers know that he was taking the plane off course?
