Israel: Turkish flight aborted after passengers get plane crash pics

[Still Waters]

The captain of a Turkish AnadoluJet flight aborted its take-off at Israel's main airport after passengers received plane crash images on their phones.

Israel's aviation authority said the aircraft was taxiing at Ben Gurion Airport when the incident happened.

Passengers and crew were taken off and the luggage reinspected.

Several young Israelis were identified as suspects and are being questioned. The plane departed five hours late after being cleared to leave.

If this was found to be intentional mischief or worse, those responsible should pay LARGE...

"The Hebrew Ynet news site reported that the images were shared via AirDrop, an Apple service which enables users to send files from one Apple device to another across short distances. All the images were received on iPhones, it said."

They were looking suspiciously at some young Israelis for the downloads, likely on board the craft, but they did not specify that.

And similarly; some that naive that they have their phone settings to allow anyone to AirDrop them.

And then click on the notification when it popped up from an unknown person.
