The SBN flight was not a diversion. It was a regular flight that had deiced and, from what I was told, had problems because freezing rain/icing built up on the engines before takeoff. When they ran the engine up ice was ingested and damaged the engines.
Always more to the story guys. Not as sensational as the news media and/or message boards makes it sound.
