Just so nobody else gets scared like I did that there was a real hijacking, the article states at the end: (Background: this took place a later in the day on 9/11/01, you can understand why people were jumpy)

"Still unsure if there was a hijacking in progress, the Royal Canadian mounted police boarded the plane with guns drawn.

NORAD scrambled fighter jets to escort the Korean jumbo.

But it proved a false alarm.

Korean Air and the FAA say it was a miscommunication between the pilot and an air traffic control center made jumpy by the events earlier that day. "

Personally, I don't think that this reflects badly on Korean or Delta Airlines. September 11th was a horrible day and I can understand that the FAA might of been overly cautious.
