Post Air Canada B767 Returns to LAX following "Disturbance."

Taken from BBC CEEFAX:

An Air Canada Boeing 767 has returned to Los Angeles airport after what has been described by the FBI as a "disturbance."

The jet bound for Toronto turned round with an escort of 2 F16 jets. The flight, AC792, with 145 pax landed safely in LAX where a man was taken into custody. An FBI spokeswoman said: "The nature of the disturbance was not known........maybe there were threats."

Seems a bit strange of the FBI to say that!!!???
Pehaps it was just an "air rage" incident and they weren't taking any chances.
Anyway all safe....Long may that continue.
Be safe everyone.
