Tourist Sends Hijacking SMS To Wife

Sometimes you really have to wonder what people are thinking.

Take, for example, the Italian tourist who was travelling on a flight from Sydney Airport. The man, Antonio Casale, sent a series of SMS messages to his wife that stated that his plane had been hijacked by Islamic terrorists. Casale sent these messages while his plane was making a routine refueling stop in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.

Casale's wife then alerted the Italian police, who then alerted the Australian authorities that a group of terrorists had possibly boarded Casale's flight in Sydney. The Italian police asked the Australians to conduct background checks on all of the passengers. Anti-terror agents in Kuala Lumpur were also alerted.

Casale was arrested later when his flight landed in Vienna, after it was learned that the text messages were a hoax.
