SA plane ‘hijacked’ says Twitter
A plane carrying 70 passengers was reportedly hijacked over South African skies.
NEWS is just emerging of a SA Airlink plane being hijacked. According to early reports, 70 passengers and four crew members are on board. The plane was flying from Cape Town to Wonderboom.
Details are still sketchy at this point but Arrive Alive and Crime Intelligence South Africa (CICA) have both tweeted about the incident.
Reports are that the flight has since landed.
The first hijacking of a South African Airways plane took place in 1972 when two men hijacked a SAA Boeing 727 tri-jet the Letaba en route from Durban to Johannesburg and Salisbury.
