Here's amazing footage of a Jet Airways Boeing being intercepted by two EFs of the German Air Force while flying over Germany. Jet Airways flight 9W 118, carrying 330 passengers and a crew of 15 from Mumbai to London Heathrow, was over Cologne when radio contact abruptly stopped.
The German Air Force scrambled two Eurofighter Typhoons to escort the Boeing 777-300, which is thought to have tuned in at the wrong radio frequency.
Footage captured from a British Airways plane flying 2,000 feet above 9W 118 shows the fighters flying alongside the Indian passenger jet.
The plane continued along its planned flight path and the fighter pilots managed to restore radio contact just north of Nuremberg using emergency channels.
As a precaution, the two Typhoons continued to escort the plane until it made a safe landing at London Heathrow.

As usual Jet Airways pilots have screwed up again!! So what's new?
This is how it must have looked to the passengers.....
