UA 862 turbulence-now stranded in AKL?

[mattjenna]

Australian aviation newsgroups are saying UA862 which diverted to AKL enroute from SYD to SFO after CAT injuries to crew and PAX is now strnaded in AKL after aborting the ongoing journey to SFO twice. Saying there is damage to the wings.

Anyone know anything about this?
