Following an anonymous threat made to commercial flights, an Air France plane was escorted by U.S. mili🌼tary fighter jets to New York on Mon♈day.
U.S. authorities received an anonymous tip warning of a "chemical weapons threat" aboard Air France Flight 22, whi🐠ch was carrying 11 crew members and 165 passengers.
Th✤e U.S. Air Force scrambled two F-15 jets, which were sent to escort the Airbus A-330 into American airspace.
The flight was traveling from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport and landed safely at John 🔥F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City Monday morning.
The flight was transported to a secure area and searched and cleared for explosives.
Details regarding the exact nature of the incident remain scarce, but a New York Daily News report, citing sources, called the anonymous tip a "crank call" and laid blame on a single man who reportedly made multiple untraceable calls to the Maryland State Police barrac💎ks warning of threats to several different flights.
