    UPDATE - Plane Lands Saftly | Havoc Caused by Drunk Passenger!

    Passengers aboard a domestic Russian flight had a hijack scare Friday when a fellow passenger reportedly demanded the flight be diverted to Vienna, Reuters reported.

    "At 5.20 p.m. one of the passengers on a flight from Adler to Moscow cried 'Allah Akbar' and announced that the flight had been hijacked and demanded to change the course from Vnukovo (airport outside Moscow) to Vienna," Reuters quotes Russian news sources as reporting.

    Later, Russian news agencies reported the plane landed without incident. They quoted a law enforcement official as saying crew had been in contact with air traffic controllers and that the incident may have been caused by a drunk passenger, Reuters reported.

    "The situation is under control," Interfax quoted the source as saying.
