Anyone here know about this incident? For one thing, I didn't even know the Dutch HAD an air force!

Perhaps it was a weather balloon with printing "Please Land".

Nobody forced the plane to land. It was escorted back to Schiphol by two F-16s.

The BBC report:

Dutch police have arrested 12 passengers after a US flight en route to India had to return to Amsterdam because of a security alert.
The pilot turned back over German airspace after the crew said a number of passengers on the flight to Mumbai (Bombay) were behaving suspiciously.

Two Dutch air force jets escorted the the Northwest airlines plane back to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

Police are questioning other passengers and crew members

Amsterdam is much, much, much more than that, mate.

I really respect you Dutch people for tolerating with a smile the
flood of tourists seeking hash and bush 😉
