QuoteDutch military police reportedly surrounded a passenger plane at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Wednesday amid fears that it had been hijacked.
Passengers still on board the jet, Reuters said.
Two F-16 fighter jets were sent to intercept a Vueling airplane bound for Amsterdam's Schiphol airport from Malaga, Spain, Reuters reported.
Dutch website nu.nl said there were thought to be hostages on board.
However, budget airline Vueling told Reuters the hijack reports were due to miscommunication and denied a hijacking had taken place.
Dutch police have confirmed they believe it is a hostage situation.
Glad to see the Duch police are bringing clarity to the situation.
This morning this was reported as a world war II bomb was found and one of the runways was closed. Holy shit.
They updated the link.
Apparently everything is fine, here. We're fine, everything's fine. Here. How are you?
Quote"There was never any danger," a spokeswoman for Vueling said. "There was a lack of communication between the pilot and the tower and the airport has activated the security protocol."
Police told Dutch agency ANP the plane had not been hijacked and confirmed there had been a "miscommunication," Reuters reported.
A passenger on board the plane said nothing unusual was happening, Dutch broadcaster NOS reported, quoting the passenger.
"In fact nothing was going on. We had to fly a few rounds. We are now waiting in the plane, the doors are still closed. But there is no hijack," NOS quoted the person as saying.
So much for the "schrodinger's terrorist" joke I was about to make.

Maybe Logic Terrorism:
Maybe we will hijack your plane... maybe we will sleep in for the day and go have a coffee... maybe we will just hijack your imagination.

Wasn't hijacking our imagination how the us/uk leadership deployed terrorism in the first place?
