Threatens euro bank { January 5 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13281-2003Jan5.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13281-2003Jan5.html Man Arrested After Stealing German Plane By David McHugh Associated Press Writer Sunday, January 5, 2003; 12:01 PM FRANKFURT, Germany –– Police arrested a man who stole a small plane Sunday and threatened to crash it into the European Central Bank in Frankfurt before landing safely at the city's international airport, authorities said. Military jets had been scrambled after the single-engine plane began circling slowly over the center of the city, its red and white lights blinking in the darkness several hundred meters above the skyscrapers in Germany's financial capital. Earlier, in a call from his plane to news channel n-tv, the man had said he didn't want to harm anyone, but intended to commit suicide once his fuel ran out. But after just over two hours in the air, he put the plane down at the airport. N-tv said the man had said he wanted to draw attention to the death of an astronaut killed aboard the doomed space shuttle Challenger in 1986. Police said that the man had threatened to fly the plane into the ECB or other buildings in the downtown area. The main railway station and several skyscrapers were evacuated temporarily as a precaution, and streets cleared in the downtown area of the city. Bank spokeswoman Regina Schueller said security personnel evacuated about 10 staff from their offices. The bank's president Wim Duisenberg was not in the building at the time. Police sent up a helicopter to try to force the plane away from the city, while two military jets were seen roaring across the evening sky. It was unclear if the pilot had been forced to land, or talked down. The airport said air traffic controllers had been in contact with the pilot. The plane was stolen Sunday afternoon from an airfield at Babenhausen, just to the southeast of Frankfurt, said Axel Raab, a spokesman for the German air safety agency. The man threatened the pilot of the plane with a weapon, then took over the controls and took off, Raab said. Frankfurt airport, continental Europe's largest, interrupted flights while the stolen plane was in the air, but resumed takeoffs and landings minutes after he landed at 5:11 p.m. local time. © 2003 The Associated Press
