Well something doesn't add up here. The picture posted earlier.

RAF Typhoons

F16's

If the top picture is indeed the PIA aircraft it would suggest to me it was intercepted by somebody operating F16's. Maybe the Belgium airforce, so how did it continue to Manchester before being turned around?

I read earlier that top picture is not from today ^ Couldn't find it posted anywhere previously though

This one is another apparently taken today. Around East Anglia.

It's a shot of a plane being escorted in Schipol apparently.

LOL the great internet news.

Looks like you are correct, but it is again a PIA flight.

Crickey you take you life in your hands when you get on their flights.

Yup that second image of the 2 planes gets reverse image results. Definitely not from today

OMG I just image searched PIA plane incidents. Not relevant but they seemed to have had a fair few crashes.

Pakistan, AeroMexico, China Eastern and Korean Air. From experience, those are the four carriers I would never fly with.
