A false alarm was sparked by emergency services in Spain, claiming that a plane had crashed into the Atlantic water. But as a matter of fact, it was actually a boat that was mistaken for a ditched aircraft.
The false alarm by the Canary Islands emergency services resulted into plethora of breaking news alerts of a possible plane crash by Spanish and international media. Shortly after 1500 GMT on Thursday (0200 AEDT Friday), the islands' emergency services took to Twitter to reveal that air traffic controllers had confirmed a plane fell into the sea two nautical miles off Gran Canaria.
