"Now you're spreading rumors. The threat was not against "this very flight." The threat was several days earlier, against a specific flight originating in Buenos Aires.

Poor choice of words on my part. I should have said bomb flight against the same airline flying this exact same route.

I should have said bomb flight against the same airline flying this exact same route.

It wasn't the "exact same route," either. The threat was against a plane flying out of Buenos Aires. Flight 447 originated in Rio de Janeiro.

As for it being "the exact same airline," well, ok ... but I imagine lots of airlines get lots of bomb threats. This could be a very plausible coincidence.
