The Deets

Yo, lemme spill the tea. So, apparently, someone decided to pull a fast one and hijacked a whole Cessna. Like, straight outta Victoria, it flew to Vancouver International Airport. Air traffic control was buggin', warning everyone else, cause it was that wild.

The pilot? Yeah, they were riding solo and got cuffed by the RCMP as soon as they touched down. Big yikes. But here's where it gets even crazier. For 39 whole minutes, nobody was landing at Vancouver. They had to yeet nine incoming flights to other airports. Can you imagine the chaos?!

Vancouver Airport was all like, "Nah, we good now," and said flights are back on schedule, but lowkey, expect some delays. Turns out the plane was from the Victoria Flying Club. So, yeah, the whole situation was "safely resolved," according to the official report. But still, kinda sus, right?
