Bomb Threat on Sydney flight
A Pacific Blue flight bound to Sydney received a threat and was escorted into Sydney airport, where it landed safely. However, the passengers on the plane were forced to wait while the plane was held away from the terminal and searched for an alleged bomb, or other device.
All passengers were released and, apparently, no device was found. The news reports coming out of Sydney currently are not clear if there was a bomb or not.
About 100 passengers were evacuated from a plane at Australia’s largest airport tonight after an anonymous caller warned there was a suspicious package on board.
NSW Bomb Squad officers scoured the Pacific Blue 737, which landed at Sydney airport from Fiji, but found nothing and the search was called off at 7.45pm (AEST).
Tensions are running very high since the incident in Britain.
