PASSENGERS on an international flight have been evacuated from a plane at Sydney Airport after a threat was made against the aircraft.
"A Pacific Blue flight from Nadi, Fiji, which landed at approximately 5.45pm (AEST) today has had a threat made against it," Sydney Airport Corporation spokesman Peter Vickary said.
"That aircraft has been parked away from the terminal, the passengers have been evacuated and the NSW police are now investigating."
The Seven Network says the threat against the 737 aircraft was made from the Philippines .. while the plane was en route from Fiji.
The east-west runway at Sydney Airport has been closed since the flight landed.
Police said authorities are investigating reports of a suspicious device on board the plane.
"Emergency services and airport authorities are currently examining an aircraft at Sydney Airport following unconfirmed reports that a suspicious device may be on board," a NSW police spokeswoman said.
"The aircraft arrived at 5.40pm (AEST) today.
"It is located away from the terminal area, passengers have been removed from the aircraft, and authorities are currently investigating the situation."

It's simply amazing to what lenghts Bush/Rice/Cheney/Haliburton/neo-con conglomerate of conspiracy partners will do to keep us in a state of fear and panic maintaining their plan of turning this country into a fascist regime by using innocent Muslims as tools of their fake terrorism plots

Sorry, slipped into moonbat mode. Taking my meds now It's scary that there are people who think that way.
As an update, no device has been found on the plane, so hopefully this isn't something to really worry about.

I am sure that I heard Brit Hume mention that the democrats are blaming the President for yesterday's unscheduled landing at Logan Airport.
How is it possible for dems to be so unhinged?

We live in the age of deception and confusion. We are flooded with information and it is easy to spread a lie. Satan is pulling the strings and the lazy minds are his tool. I went on vacation the last two weeks. We stopped at my mother-in-law's. She is a big time conservative. She said one day a kook point from 9/11 and believed it. When I gave her the Freeper facts, she saw she was wrong but the wrong idea got into her head. Before my conservation father died, he started defending Clinton. He was sitting in the rest home and watching NBC, ABC, and CBS because that was all they had. Satan has his voices out there.

You forgot Rove. Hardly, KKKarl Rove is "Bush's Brain", the evil genius behind it all, the puppeteer, the master manipulator
He's in a league of his own. He's probably not even human.
