One of the neater things you'll see todayI can imagine quite a few horror scenarios onboard an airplane. Looking outside your window and seeing fighter jets is definitely at the very top of that list. That was the reality this week for passengers aboard an Indian Jet Airways flight bound for London that lost contact with air traffic controllers in Cologne, Germany, leading German Air Force Eurofighter Typhoons to scramble and intercept the plane.
Video of the incident was captured by a trailing British Airways plane, which comes to us from the Facebook page of CirrusPilot
More plus fairly unique video at link.
