A GERMANWINGS FLIGHT FROM Germany to Italy was evacuated shortly before take-off after authorities received a bomb threat.
All passengers and crew on the flight from Cologne to Milan were forced from the plane yesterday when the flight was aborted as the aircraft was taxiing towards the runway.
The low-cost carrier, whose parent company is Lufthansa, said the pilot got the call from air traffic controllers after police were notified of a bomb threat.
A bomb-detection squad including sniffer dogs searched the cabin and baggage hold of the Airbus A320, but nothing suspicious was found. The plane was carrying 126 passengers and crew for the flight.
The incident comes less than three weeks after a Germanwings flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf crashed in the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board.
It is believed the plane’s co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, locked the captain out of the cockpit before deliberately veering the flight into the mountainside.

That’s a bit racist. All islanders are or we’re not cannibals.
They cannot find jumbo jet that disappeared in 2014, yet they hope to find 1 or 2 person propeller plane from 70 years ago, yeah I think that may work.
Not a jumbo jet and by lack of oxygen or intentionally it was crashed in middle of ocean. One thinks that if she was experiencing problems with her aircraft she might go for any land in sight.
So maybe she did crash there. Maybe not. Be cool to solve but won’t hold my breath
Didn’t they find some pieces of her plane and some skeletons on the island there, somewhen in the fifties, thought I read something about that, but can’t remember where
Women drivers crash into anything and still manage to get lost
‘Hunting the mysterious disappearance of……’ What did the English language ever do to The Journal to be abused in this way? One might say ‘Hunting for…’ someone or something or ‘Investigating the disappearance of…….’ someone or something, but ‘Hunting the disappearance of…’ is just bad grammar.
Wow. She’s gonna be really really old if they do find her.
So basically they watched ‘lost’ and got this idea!
Aiiggghhhhtttttttt…..
have your say
