((HT: CNN))
The HQ doesn't know if this is the first of a few incidents to occur during the activities in Sochi or just a one-shot deal...
A Turkish air pirate wanted to have the plane he was on rerouted to Sochi, but he never made it...
But Turkish reports claim that 20 minutes after the demand was given by the pirate, two F-16's shouldered the plane and brought it to the ground. The situation had been "neutralized" after a short time and there was a thought that, while the alleged pirate wasn't drunk, he may have been on "something" that he brought on the plane...
The suspect was of Ukranian descent and was forcibly detained on the plane and removed without incident...
Nick Paton Walsh is in Russia to discuss
