A plane was diverted to Germany after an overheard conversation sparked a terrorism alert


An easyJet plane stands at Cologne-Bonn airport, in Cologne Germany, after a conversation during a flight to London prompted the pilot to make an unscheduled stop. It all started somewhere between Slovenia and London, as three British men flying home from their job passed the flight in conversation. The easyJet pilot was concerned enough to divert the flight, landing in a remote corner of an airport in Cologne, where passengers were evacuated off the plane via slides. But all the interviews, interrogations and “an extensive search of the plane” did not reveal anything suspicious, police said. But all ended well with the easyJet flight, aside from some late flights, scuffed passengers and the detention of three men — who were released Sunday.
