KLM sorry for scaring football stadium fans with low-flying Dreamliner

Dutch airline KLM is sorry about scaring football fans Feyenoord and FC Twente supporters in Rotterdam and residents of the province Zeeland with the test flight with their new Boeing 787 Dreamliner on Sunday. After the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13th, everyone in Europe is a bit jumpy. Especially when attending a public event such as a football game. So the low flying passenger jet gave a number of people quite a fright. "We realize that it has caused a commotion that we did not anticipate. Otherwise we would have handled it differently" a spokesperson for the airline said to Omroep Zeeland. "Sorry that we scared some people."
