A kite reaching 1,000 feet in the air caused chaos with flights over a city in British Columbia, Canada.
Kite caused chaos
One keen high-flyer let loose with the classic toy, seemingly unaware of the scenes above, with several planes having to be diverted to avoid the unusual obstacle.
A tweet on law enforcement's official account read: ''Today, we attended for the report of a kite being flown over #esquimalt that was causing a hazardous situation for the incoming air traffic to the inner harbour.
''Air traffic was re-routed around the area. The kite was approx. 1000 ft in the air. Our investigation is ongoing #yyj (sic)''
Meanwhile, Constable Matt Rutherford has urged kite enthusiasts to use common sense to avoid any accidents while enjoying their hobby.
He added kites and drones should be kept low in a city - even more so when there's an airport nearby - and described the incident as concerning.
