Spain hunts passengers who fled plane after fake emergency
Spanish police were searching for 14 passengers who fled after their plane made an emergency landing at a Barcelona airport on Wednesday.
They were part of a group of 28 people who jumped out of the plane as soon as the doors opened.
Their Pegasus Airlines flight from Morocco to Turkey was forced to land in Spain after a woman apparently faked going into labor.
It follows a similar incident just over a year ago in Mallorca.
Escape on the runway
During Wednesday’s incident, the plane was met by an ambulance and three police patrols but “as they were disembarking the pregnant woman, a group of 28 people left the plane and tried to flee,” a source told the AFP news agency.
