False Emergency (Merged)

Football fans fake air emergency

A chartered plane carrying nearly 300 Gambians faked a fuel emergency to land in time for the West African nation’s game in a youth tournament in Peru.
The plane should have landed in the capital, Lima.
However, when the fans realised they would be late for the game, the crew radioed the Peruvian authorities to say the plane was low on fuel.
The plane then made an emergency landing in the northern city of Piura, where the game was taking place
