British Airways flight intercepted by Nato fighter jets after radio silence

Interesting. An extract:

“A British Airways flight was intercepted by Nato fighter jets after it failed to respond to air traffic control.

German Eurofighter Typhoons were quickly scrambled, fearing a possible terror incident.

But now authorities are investigating if the captain and first officer of Flight BA899 simply dozed off. [J4MB emphasis: Well, that’s all right, then…]
