Quote:A pair of US fighter jets has escorted an Air France airliner bound for New York City after the flight was the subject of an anonymous threat.
Ah ha! So terrorists have seized control of the plane and are threatening to fly it into some ground target the the fighters are going to shoot it down?
No.
Yes, actually. A pair of F-16s were dispatched to New York after the first plane hit but didn't arrive in time to stop the second one. I'd sure hate to be piloting one of those fighters but you do what you have to do.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
