Plane diverted to Rome due to bomb threat – passengers safe!
An American passenger plane en route from New York to Delhi was forced to crash on Sunday afternoon due to a... suspected bomb threat landing unscheduled at Rome Fiumicino Airport. According to an airport spokesman, the plane carrying nearly 200 passengers was over the Caspian Sea when it had to turn around. The security authorities reacted immediately after landing and directed the passengers and crew to a safe building.
Once the plane was safely on the ground, police and safety experts completed a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft. As the Ansa news agency reported, no suspicious objects were found on board or in the hold. The security forces also checked the passengers' luggage before the alarm could finally be lifted. To ensure safety, two fighter jets escorted the passenger plane until it landed in Rome, as first reported by The mirror.
The incident is not only worrying for passengers, but also shows the increased vigilance and rapid response of security forces in Europe to bomb threats. While emergency crews continued to investigate following the incident, the situation remained under control and there were no immediate injuries or damage.
