Two Dutch F-16s Scrambled To Intercept Unidentified Boeing 777
 
For those who theorized that flight MH370 was hijacked so it could be
converted (weaponized) into a flying bomb, then the current G7 meeting
in the Netherlands would make an attractive target.

There is no evidence of foul play, but if one wants to quickly reduce
their life expectancy, the best way to achieve that is to fly a 777 with
transponders switched off near a city where the world's leaders are
currently located.

it is no surprise that the news which appeared about an hour ago that
two Dutch F-16s were scrambled to intercept a unresponsive Boeing 777 in
Dutch airspace, received such a prompt response.

en route to the airport. The unit flew from Miami in Dutch airspace and
they could not connect to the device.

A spokesman for the Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security unit
had previously requested permission for the flight. That is because of
the nuclear security summit in The Hague is mandatory.

The jets have the cargo plane accompanied this had left. Dutch airspace
The unit is now independently to the airport in Frankfurt, Germany.
