Only 100 pax on a 777 from Heathrow? Is American making any money on this flight? Then to top it off they have to divert which costs thousands more!
Glad they got her down safe!

Would be interesting to compare the number of passengers on flights of competing airlines on that day, let's say British Airways.

Some relatively minor defect in the electrical system, rather than a generator failure is most likely. You don't want to run the aircraft on the APU as thats the final back up.....
