An AnadoluJet plane, which was planning to depart from Israel and arrive at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport today, canceled the flight on suspicion of terrorism. In the statements made on the subject, it was stated that the photos coming to the phones of the passengers were the cause.
Two planes returned from the brink of disaster!
The plane, which tried to land on the same runway just above the plane that was waiting for permission to take off in Mexico, caused great fear.
“Bad joke” on AnadoluJet flight that organizes Tel Aviv-Istanbul flight
The AnadoluJet flight, which was planning to depart from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, located on Israel’s coastline, and arrive at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport, was canceled due to the accident photos that came to the phones of the passengers.
Making a statement on the subject, the Israeli Civil Aviation Agency said that 165 of the passengers of the plane used iPhones and photos were sent to these devices via Airdrop. It has not been found yet who made the relevant post.
Looking closely at the photographs sent to 165 passengers, it is stated that they belong to Turkish Airlines flights that crashed in the Netherlands in 2009 and in San Francisco, California, USA in 2013.
However, after the baggage control and extensive inspection of the plane, it was said that this post was just a bad joke. In other words, it was announced that there was no danger, but the expedition was canceled for security reasons.
One of the first statements on the subject was Istanbul Deputy Ahmet Işık. In his post, he said:
Airport authorities delayed the flight after some passengers on the plane sent photos of the plane crash to their mobile phones before the flight number TK 7709 belonging to Anadolu Jet, which will make the Israel/TelAviv – Turkey/Istanbul flight, from Ben Gurion Airport.
It is considered that the crash footage, including THY planes, was sent to passengers whose mobile phones had the Air Drop feature turned on, and that one of the passengers would have made a “bad joke” for this reason.
Ben Gurion Airport officials announced that after the passengers informed the flight crew, all passengers and luggage on the plane that left the take-off position were taken to search/security control again.
