False alarm at Yukon airport
WebPosted Tue Sep 11 16:24:58 2001
TORONTO - Schools and government offices in Whitehorse, Yukon were evacuated
Tuesday as jet fighters escorted two commercial airliners to unscheduled
landings, after aviation authorities suspected one of the aircraft may have
been hijacked.
It was a false alarm as both airliners were both simply running low on fuel
as they waited to be directed to a new airport.
One of the airliners was a Korean Airlines 747, the other an unknown 747.
Both landed at Whitehorse airport. The jet fighters continued to circle over
Whitehorse as the planes were inspected.
