TA-THREATS: New bomb scare diverts Greek jet

A New York-bound Olympic Airways flight carrying 295 passengers has landed in Ireland after a bomb alert. A Greek newspaper recieved calls warning that the bomb will go off in an hour. This is the second kind of incident in three days. Officals say that there is a chance for a 'copy cat'.



The aircraft resumed its flight to New York on Monday.

The incident comes two days after a Greek jet was forced to land in the UK.

Leaving the airports in Greece is one of the most exausting things you can do. There are multipul security check points until you get to you boarding, and there, you go through about two more check points. Definatly one of the safest places to fly out of.

What is scary about this incident is that it seems to be a 'copycat' incident. This could possible spark more incidents of this nature to happen in the near future.

this is crazy - any mad Muslim around the world can phone Olympic airways and claim there is a bomb a-board.

Don;t let these fiends spoil our lives and decency

crossfire, you already have four warnings, ATSNN doesn't respect those kind of comments, and to tell you the truth, NOBODY should accept them.

It is that kind of ignorance that we here deny.
