The first public video from aboard the Syria-bound plane intercepted by Turkish authorities.

 

Passengers filmed the Turkish F-16s that intercepted the plane, and then Turkish soldiers boarding the aircraft. The plane's flight engineer later bandages his handcuff-scarred hands.

Turkish F-16 fighter jets forced a Syrian Air passenger plane to land in Ankara over suspicions that it was carrying "non-civilian" cargo. The Damascus-bound plane, en route from Moscow, has departed after a nine-hour inspection.
