Still seems a bit OTT to scramble jets because of an intoxicated lady |  |

Yep, but plance threats have been taken very seriously since a certain incident 18 years ago.
18 years! Blimey! What happened to all that time. | |

What intoxicated lady? Says nothing in the story about an intoxicated lady. |  |

That happened as the pilots mentioned that the cockpit was secure and not breached which Air Traffic control took as an attempt by someone to gain access and called the RAF to escort the plane back. |  | | |

Boys will play with toys if allowed. How much has this cost I wonder? | | | |

They were scrambled because of a bomb threat today, even though it turned out to be a hoax.
Sometimes if a pilot doesn’t respond, they will also be scrambled. Happens more often than you think it would around the world. |  | | |

Don't worry, it will be tucked away in the RAF training budget. | |

I hope that if they do have to take one down due to a cabin breach, that they do the whole inverted thing from Top Gun and look the terrorist in the eye before taking him down. |  |

Weird seeing my job plastered over the news. As ElderGrizzly says, happens more than you think and so far there’s been nothing sinister in any of them. | | | |

Since when has being a drunk lady been a ‘job’!? |  | | |

That or it happens quite often as someone in the know has suggested on here but once one ahs hit the news, the second becomes much more newsworthy than previously. |  |

I thought it was a tremor at first. Thought the chuffing glass partitions in the office were going to shatter. | | | |

They were unrelated, so no intel about anything resulting in these incidents.
Just don’t have too many shandies and then shout bomb. You’ll be fine. | | | |

How are the pilots in their fighter jets going to control a drunk in another plane tho? |  |

Don't joke with US border personnel either. In my experience they are entirely humourless and carry out the job of admitting tourists with far too much hostility. I always know I'm home when I hear an American voice screaming at a group of startled Norwegians for approaching the desk in a group rather than individually.
Not to worry you. |  |

Sadly, they are scrambled in case the drunk passenger potentially breaches the cockpit. They then have a potentially unenviable task... | | | |
