Hijack?
My friend in the States is telling me a Virgin Atlantic liner en route from England to JFK has been hijacked. He caught the end of the story on Fox news in Cali. Says Canadian jets have been scrambled to intercept.
Anyone hear anything on the radio\tv??

Flight 45 from London
Flight relayed hijack code.
Could be over eager reporting in the States.

It's small fry news. But if some Kurdish students making some jokes about blowing up Old Trafford can become a Newsflash then what do you expect these days.
