Authorities believe suspects used iPhone AirDrop to share photos before takeoff at Ben Gurion airport
A taxiing plane returned to the gate at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport after photos of aviation disasters popped up on passengers’ phones – sent, Israeli authorities believe, by nine people onboard using the iPhone AirDrop function.
The nine suspects, described by police as Israeli citizens, could be prosecuted for disseminating false information, the IAA said. The offence carries a maximum three-year prison term in Israel.“The nine ... are suspected of broadcasting images of an air disaster on the plane, causing panic and delaying the plane’s departure by several hours,” the police said in a statement.
“One woman fainted, another had a panic attack,” a passenger identified only as Diana told Israel’s Channel 12.
