Dramatic video shows the moment a diverted American Airlines flight was escorted by Italian fighter jets due to a “security concern.”

According to a representative from the airline, AA flight 292 successfully touched down in Rome on Sunday afternoon following an unplanned rerouting prompted by a security issue that was ultimately found to be unsubstantiated. 

The video shows the plane being escorted by Italian Air Force jets prior to landing at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome.

Flight 292 had departed New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on its way to New Delhi, India when it was diverted.

Toronto Pearson Airport. Thankfully, everyone survived that terrifying ordeal.
