It remains unclear who sent the pictures to the plane’s passengers, but the investigation is ongoing.

A Turkey-bound flight departing from Israel’s Ben Gurion airport returned to the gate on Tuesday after photos of a plane crash appeared on the phones of a number of passengers. The plane was in taxi and about to take off when passengers reported that they received the concerning images to the crew, prompting the captain to return the flight’s 160 passengers back to the terminal, according to Ynetnews.
