I believe that is the name of the airport...Jim Angle on Fox also reporting this. Said passengers had been evacuated safely...300+ people on board.
Virgin Atlantic plane...767.

Bound for Florida, landed in Iceland. There's some irony. I'll bet the people looking for tropical weather are bummed out.

I got a shoe for a bomber & guess where I'll put it?
If enough of us "nip" this in the bud these immature religo~freaks will wise up & go play somewhere else.

Correction...747.
I thought they said in the first report that it was coming from England.

I think they said the flight was to have been from England to Orlando.

Passanger list or manifest?
Some of the British Press articles last night said they found 2 female members of Al Qaeda and that they are considering screening for Asian and Black members of the terrorist orginizations from Singapore and Somalia.

Thx, both of you. I worry bc my boyfriend flies Virgin all the time and lives in the UK..

FoxNews said that 350 people were on board the 747. They landed and offloaded safely. Sounded like there was a bomb threat.
Some drunk guy is probably sitting in an Icelandic jail right about now. Enjoy winter in Iceland, no tropical escapade for you!
