Surprised this doesn't exist yet. Starting this off on a concerning note, it appears Lufthansa Flight 418 just squawked 7700 before dumping fuel over Coll Airport (either a medical emergency or a mechanical issue that prevented them crossing the Atlantic safely); I'm not sure where it's going. Dublin is the expected diversion airport but it's approaching Glasgow/Edinburgh and isn't lined up for any particular approach.

Appears to be descending into GLA.

I know there was an incident last weekend where several people were killed at Miami International Airport when a cargo plane overshot the runway.

I did see that; based off what we have so far it was going way over speed while on final and the brakes did not properly work until it was already too far down and it ran over a bunch of cars on 67th Avenue before stopping in a parking lot. Very tragic. Not sure why it didn't perform a go-around but I'm sure we will get details about that soon enough.
