21 August 2012, Rogaška Slatina, Slovenia [Julian Hibbert, tedNEWS] The irresponsible actions of UK man caused air traffic controllers to divert a Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340 from Heathrow to Stansted airport early this morning. This was caused by a telephonic bomb threat.
According to the MailOnline the plane “landed safely at 5.24am and the 214 passengers and 18 crew members were evacuated. Specialist teams carried out a detailed search of the plane but Essex Police confirmed the incident was a hoax.”*
Unfortunately, the threat caused flight delays that directly affected a large number of UK delegates to the European Pastors’ Conference who were due to fly out of Stansted today. It meant that they arrived in the late evening after the conference had opened. [tedNEWS]
