SEE IT: Plane returns to Toronto after passenger threatens to ‘bomb Canada’Â* - NY Daily News
A crazed Canadian man on board a commercial airplane cruising above West Virginia threatened to bomb his own country, forcing the pilot to turn around as two American fighter jets escorted the plane back to Toronto, witnesses said.
Sunwing Flight 772 was only 45 minutes into its Friday morning flight to Panama City, Fla., when an agitated 25-year-old Ali Shahi began ranting and “made a direct threat against the aircraft,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement.
The pilots decided to turn the flight — with 183 passengers and six crewmembers aboard — back to Canada, while F-16 fighter jets on a training run outside Toledo, Ohio, were scrambled to accompany the plane back to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, CBC News reported.
"He basically just tore a strip off her, explaining how expensive the cigarettes are here in Canada, he hates Canada," witness Bettina Bathe told CTV Toronto of the fracas mid-flight. "Then he said, with great expression using his hands, 'I just want to bomb Canada.'"
I think we've all felt like this at one time or another
