Local ABC affiliate was interrupted by ABC News Special Report.

The pilot is in constant contact with the ground and insists the plane is secure. Nonetheless, the flight is being diverted to Moncton, NB, Canada as a precaution.

The pilot may have to blow the breathilizer before making a statement.

Since none of the cable newsies appear to be covering this, I'm beginning to wonder what is going on.

It is a bit difficult to sqwak such a code by accident. Transponder training is just not something an airline pilot does in the air.

The pilot says the hijack code is an error

four digit code error. FNC says the code is 7500.
