A private executive jet was forced down at an airport in Brandon, Man. Friday, after air authorities become confused by the signals the plane was sending.
The jet was registered to AOL Time Warner and was on its way to Washington, D.C. from Japan when the incident happened
The Brandon airport manager says an onboard electronic device jet that helps air traffic controllers track the plane was apparently sending out the wrong information.
John Christinsen, of the Brandon airport, said air traffic controllers decided to turn the plane away from U.S. airspace. American fighter jets escorted the plane down.
The jet was quickly surrounded by about a dozen police cars upon landing. Two passengers and four crew were escorted off with their hands up. Their nationalities were unknown.
Brandon RCMP say the passengers and crew were questioned and have been now cleared to leave.
