"SNIP........................
A 25-year-old Canadian man has been charged after he allegedly made "direct threats" to the safety of a flight to Panama City this morning, resulting in the plane returning to Toronto for an emergency landing.
Flight 772 turned around after 45 minutes in the air for the emergency landing at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. It was escorted by two U.S. F-16 jets.

The two U.S. F-16 fighter jets from Toledo, Ohio, were dispatched to escort the plane back to Toronto, North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) confirmed. The F-16s flew with the commercial plane out of U.S. airspace to Toronto as a "precaution."
The RCMP took the lead on the investigation once the plane landed at Pearson at 8:55 a.m. ET.
