A stunning new report claims a flight from New York to Rome was unresponsive for ten minutes last month when both the pilot and the co-pilot fell asleep at the same time. It happened on "ITA airways" as the plane flew 38,000 feet over France with as many as 250 passengers. Air traffic controllers told investigators that because they lost contact with the plane, they prepared fighter jets to intercept the airbus, amid fears of a terror incident but the Italian pilots eventually responded. It’s an incredible story and for more on this, we go to our roving correspondent, who is coming to us LIVE outside the ITA headquarters in Rome.
