[quote:Anonymous Coward 9712651:MV8xODMzMDEyXzMwNTQyNjAyX0I0MjFDMkU3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1464492:MV8xODMzMDEyXzMwNTQyMTg5X0VFNjU4N0Uy] What I want to know is why would they scramble American fighter jets from Oregon as Standard Operating Procedure to deal with a threat in Canadian airspace? Surely Canadians have perfectly capable assets to deal with these sorts of incidents. Or is this a new wrinkle in that secret border- security-perimeter-agreement-thingy that our governments signed but which no-one is willing to discuss the contents thereof? [/quote] Yes. Essentially, Canada is no more a sovereign nation. Only by name. Next thing to occur is hockey will now be played on wooden floors, and the puck will now be declared a sphere and shot at nets suspended by hoops about 8' from the ground. [/quote]
Original Message
Just saw on CTV news that flight 777 landed at CFB Comox after a possible "threat" on board. The flight was in the air for approx. 3 hours before being diverted back to Comox via a F-15 fighter jet escort. No one has been allowed off the plane or onto the plane but the explosives detonation unit is on site from the Airforce.
