Stooky 6th Gear November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) has confirmed that there was a bomb threat concerning flight SQ001, which originated from San Francisco and arrived at Changi Airport on Sunday afternoon (Nov 22). In a media statement, SIA said that the matter was referred to the authorities. “We regret we are unable to provide details, as it concerns security,” it said. The plane landed safely at about noon, but disembarkation was delayed until around 1.30pm. Passengers then had to wait for nearly two hours to collect their baggage. Passengers were calm, although not much information was given by the airline, one of them told TODAY. “We were held on the tarmac … for about 20 minutes. The captain then made the announcement that the gate was changed,” said Mr Hoe, who declined to give his full name. “We were then parked at some remote area near the airport, and no further information was given, apart from waiting for air traffic control instructions. “At approximately 1.10pm, the captain made the announcement that the plane will be held on the tarmac, and we would be ferried to the terminal by airport bus due to security concerns. “I thought the captain was handling the situation well. No one was panicking on board. We actually didn’t know anything, and everyone thought it was just a normal delay until the announcement was made at 1.10pm. Everyone still remained calm.” -TODAY/al http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/sia-confirms-bomb-threat/2283898.html ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yewheng Twincharged November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) If they are not revealing much, does that mean the threat was real? Bomb threat where got reveal to passenger onboard flight one? Later say out there is a bomb threat onboard the plane, make passenger in panic mode. Worst is the one onboard the plane who planted the bomb heard it and think they know already, just let it go off how? So of coz will not take chances.

Paddie 3rd Gear November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 If there was really a bomb on board wouldn't it have been better to get everyone off ASAP instead of making them sit on the tarmac for nearly 2 hours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First is in case need to nab culprit or interview witnesses. Second is in case evacuees get injured or trampled upon during panic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotamp 3rd Gear November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 I think better don't go any high risk area like EU or middle east, these few days blood everywhere, If can just stay low till this is sorted out, even south east asia is not safe from extremist so stay away from places with a lot of ang mo or US presence.
