Coffee Spill Diverts United Airlines Flight

Posted by samzenpus from the is-there-anyone-on-board-who-knows-how-to-fly-a-plane dept.
PolygamousRanchKid writes "A United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany, was diverted to Toronto this week after the pilot dumped a cup of coffee on the plane's communication's equipment. The unwanted liquid triggered a series of emergency codes, including one for a hijacking, according to Transport Canada, the agency that regulates transportation in Canada."
