The wrong radio code sparked fears that a JetBlue flight bound for Los Angeles had been hijacked leading to a massive police response on Tuesday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. As Port Authority police and firefighters surrounded flight 1623, dramatic video taken inside the plane by terrified passengers shows armed SWAT members storming on board and searching the aircraft as travelers were told to keep their hands in the air. The New York Post and several other media outlets reported that a JetBlue pilot accidentally signaled to air traffic control that his plane had been hijacked. The pilot had apparently told controllers that the aircraft was having radio issues, but mistakenly used the code for a hijacking.
