fighter jets and the plane diverted to Boston
5 Answers
Everyone must have heard about this in the news today - the woman whose behaviour gave cause for concern and the plane was forced to land at Boston, accompanied by these fighter jets, presumably launched on orders from the US. My question is, what would these fighter planes actually do, once in the air? Is it that they will fire on the plane and destroy it in mid air if given the order to do so? Whose decision is it ? And is it that they have to make some kind of judgement as to where the subsequent explosion is going to cause the least loss of life?

If the plane deviated from it's instructions or the pilot did not respond by either radio or international signals that all radios are broken then the stakes would be raised and warnings issued. It would be likely that that any heading to a densly populated area after that would result in the plane being shot down.
