F16 Jets Escort Plane After Passenger 'Threat'.
A plane bound for Panama City was escorted by two US fighter jets back to Toronto, Canada, after a passenger allegedly threatened to blow up the jet.
The aircraft, carrying 189 people, turned around over West Virginia about 45 minutes into the flight as the F16s were dispatched.
Once Sunwing Airlines flight 772, with 183 passengers and six crew on board, landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport, armed police went on to the airliner and removed the suspect.
Officers have charged Canadian man Ali Shahi, 25, with uttering threats and endangering the safety of an aircraft.
Witness Sharon Ramsay said it was a frightening scene on board the plane.
