Bomb threat halts flight at John Wayne Airport

By SEAN EMERY / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

SANTA ANA – Authorities are investigating a bomb threat involving an airplane at John Wayne Airport on Tuesday night, Orange County Sheriff's Department officials said.

A plane is being held in isolation after authorities received the threat about 8:10 p.m., Lt. Joe Balicki said. Article Tab: image1-Bomb threat halts flight at John Wayne Airport ADVERTISEMENT

Southwest Flight 811 was preparing to depart to Phoenix when a "nonspecific" threat was reported to Phoenix authorities, said Jenny Wedge, a John Wayne Airport spokeswoman.

Sheriff's officials described it as a bomb-threat, indicating that the department's bomb squad has been called in to investigate.

"The plane was getting ready to taxi, and they managed to stop the plane and isolate it," Balicki said.

Yep. How easy would it be for the Muzzies to call in about 50 bomb threats at different airports and shut everything down?

“John Wayne’s not dead-he’s frozen. And as soon as we find a cure for cancer we’re gonna thaw out the Duke out and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiply that by 15 million times, that’s how pissed off he’s gonna be.” - Dennis Leary A*hole

They might even throw in a real bomb here and there to keep the threats credible. Nice to know the WOT is over.

Since it was a specific plane, I bet somebody’s ex-girlfriend/wife was on it, and they wanted to prevent it from leaving. That is where my money is, any takers?

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. But Al Qaeda-niks are watching the news, too. And they may be insane, but they aren’t stupid.

Damn. Bomb threats, kidnappings, soldiers being killed in Trashkanistan. Seems like things were safer before The War On Terror was over.
