London-bound easyJet flight diverts to Germany ..

Baggage later blown up? I didn't think those cheap as shit airlines allowed you to bring a piece of luggage big enough to be seen never mind blown up.

How weird is this story ???

By the way, does anyone remember this ?

Bump for discussion.

The luggage coul have been in the storage area of the plane.

They diverted the flight because somehone heard a conversation about terrorism and bombs, then informed the captain about it.

to follow

they have some pretty sophisticated x ray radar and sniffing tech nowadays at these airports, so there MUST have been something in that bag for them to do that!

still, odd story.

why would they jeopardise it by 'talking' about it so openly?

and HOW did it get ON the plane anyway?

Probably just a precaution.

From a november 2015 link :

Philip Baum, editor of Aviation Security International, told The Sun: "Graffiti in itself won't hurt anybody. But the ability of anyone to place a prohibited item near fuel tanks is a concern, of course."

"We know there are people working in restricted areas of airports with extremist sympathies."

well, in that case then, the only reasonable thing to do is never fly from that airport again.

hmmm
