Investigations underway into Warwickshire's sonic boom

Friday, April 20th 2012 10:49

The Department for Transport says it wants to make sure there's no repeat of last week's mistake that led to fighter jets being scrambled causing a sonic boom over Warwickshire.

An error by a helicopter pilot set off a distress signal saying the chopper had been hijacked.

Two fighter jets broke the sound barrier flying to the helicopter only to find it was all a big mistake and there was no problem.
The Department's told Rugby FM they're conducting an investigation into why it all happened.
