Sky TV: Suspected Bomb on Board Grek Olympic Plane
Just heard it on Fox too...
Sky News has a poor accuracy record for breaking stories.
Was, is or will be?
They confused "Olympic airlines" with an airplane carrying Olympic athletes.....obviously rushing the story.....
Sky News has very little.....plane is on the ground...very good news...no news if there is hijackers or what.....
I always wanted to travel to Grek, never made it though.
ornado jets have escorted a New York-bound Olympic Airlines passenger jet into Stansted Airport after a bomb alert.
Sky's James Matthews said the pilot called through a 'mayday' because he believed there was a bomb on board.
The plane was flying from Athens to New York when it was diverted to the Essex airport.
The passengers have been escorted from the plane.
It is not clear yet whether a device has been found.
A Stansted airport spokesman said the plane was diverted under "full emergency conditions".
Spanish passenger "claimed" he had a bomb according to Fox.
Yes, the popular Grek Trek.
Good thing it was on a Grek one and not a Greek one.
They actually tore themselves away from Hurricane Jeanne to report this?
He was overheard saying that he had an 70's Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 with dingleballs that he named "La Bamba". /you can't be too careful these days tag
Being covered on MSNBC in some detail right now.
And he's going to get to play "The Spanish Prisoner".
