The code stayed up for about 20 minutes; we last saw it at 02:20 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at 14,600 ft. The map shows the path flown around the event, colored from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7600 means radio failure: the aircraft has lost two-way communication with air traffic control and is following standard procedures. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
