'Scary’ detail spotted on flight map after Qatar temporarily closed airspace amid strikes in the Middle East

A flight radar map capturing the aftermath of Qatar's temporary airspace closure amid missile strikes in the Middle East features a frightening detail.

Qatar has since reopened its airspace after closing it earlier on Monday (23 June) in anticipation of retaliatory attacks by Iran on a US air base near Doha.

Qatari officials announced that air travel in the country could resume as normal shortly after midnight on Tuesday (24 June) local time.

US President Donald Trump announced yesterday that Iran and Israel had come to a ceasefire deal that could bring an end to the conflict.

The unexpected update came during the early hours of this morning (24 June) - just days after Trump 'totally obliterated' three nuclear sites in Iran. The week prior, the country was subjected to a missile attack from Israel, sparking the two to become locked in a back-and-forth strike exchange.

Trump dubbed Iran's response attack on a US base in Qatar last night 'very weak' and thanked Iranian officials for giving the Americans 'early notice' of their attack.

Now, the map in question was shared by Flightradar24, a live air traffic tracking service which shows real-time positions of commercial aircraft flying around the globe, along with the caption: "Flyadeal #F3513 appears to be the lone aircraft still deciding what to do now that Qatar and UAE airspace is closed."

The image showed the flight, symbolised with a red plane icon, appearing to be in a holding pattern over the Persian Gulf.

Many rushed to social media to share their reactions to the flight tracking map with one Twitter user writing: "That’s just scary!"

"Poor aircraft," sympathised a second while a third chimed in: "Crazy sh*t!"

"Prayers for the aircraft," penned another.

F3513 has since landed safely in Dubai after being diverted to Bahrain.

Talking of interesting plane maps, Flightradar24 recently released an image of the dispersion of the commercial flights around the world, and a number of people have been unnerved by one creepy detail - namely that the map looked like a face due to the four very visible gaps.

Two gaps beside one another - one in Eastern Europe and another in East Asia - appeared to resemble two eyes, especially when placed just above another hole in the Middle East.

A third, considerably larger gap was visible in the middle regions of Africa.

And if you haven't yet put these four empty spaces together, many believe they appear to resemble a skull.
