Pandemonium In Europe's Skies: Wave Of Bomb Threats Triggers Emergency Landings, Fighter Jet Intercepts A slew of bomb threats against European airlines has resulted in mass reroutings and flight delays over European skies and at major hubs , amid a scramble to find out who is making these threats.
" At least 18 commercial flights in Europe had to deal with bomb threats Thursday, with at least one being diverted to a military base in France," CBS reports of the developing Thursday incidents. AFP "While authorities have reported no explosives discovered on any of the jets, and they all appeared to be hoaxes, Thursday's incidents add to a fast-growing number of journeys hit by similar threats this week," the report continues.
Some are calling it a "very deliberate act" - which seems coordinated to sow panic and flight disruptions. But authorities have come up with no workable theories or links to any entity behind it so far.
