(CNN) -- Don't underestimate the power of a spilled cup of coffee.

A United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany, was diverted to Toronto this week after the pilot dumped a cup of coffee on the plane's communication's equipment. The unwanted liquid triggered a series of emergency codes, including one for a hijacking, according to Transport Canada, the agency that regulates transportation in Canada....
 
Al-Sanka, privately funded by little known Hills Bros. from Columbia, the richest kind.
 
Y'know, a 50 million dollar airplane and it doesn't come with a cup holder. :tsktsk:
