A British Airways jet was intercepted by fighter jets while flying over Hungary.
The Boeing 777 was reportedly escorted by two Hungarian Air Force fighter planes---Air Force Gripens---as they scrambled to identify the plane after it passed over the country unannounced, The Independent reported.
A passenger on board the plane captured one of the fighter jets flying next to the BA plane.
“I was just looking out and my husband said ‘look at that plane,’” Sabrina Fawaz told MailOnline.
“It’s difficult to describe the feeling. You immediately imagine something’s wrong in the plane and you’re not aware of it or something’s wrong on the ground.”
She added: “My mouth went dry and I went hot and hold. It was terrifying.”
