Luton Airport evacuated after suspicious item is found in the security search area - Polidicks

[quote] Luton Airport has been evacuated after a security alert, disrupting flights for thousands of passengers. Pictures on Twitter show hundreds of travellers crowded outside the terminal, and a bomb disposal van at the scene. All incoming flights have been suspended and the approach road to the Bedfordshire airport has been closed. Sky News sources say the alert is thought to have been sparked by a checked-in suitcase that was picked up by a security scanner. A spokeswoman for the airport said: "London Luton Airport has evacuated the terminal building after a suspicious item was found in the security search area.

Watch it be a balloon or something.

Apparently a controlled explosion took place. I'll try to post a source when a reliable one is out.

always our town

and if the package is opened then this will happen: [img]https://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5taajvf0s1rwuq4jo1_500.gif[/img]

The package, near West Hill, was reported to police at 1.44pm. Police cordoned off Sutherland Grove, in between Southfields and East Putney. The incident caused delays to the District Line and traffic had to be diverted. Residents reported hearing an explosion in the area which is understood to have been a controlled detonation of the package. The sound was heard by people in Wimbledon, Putney and Southfields.

Also BBC is reporting the controlled explosion happened inside of the terminal. [url]https://twitter.com/BBCRadioSolent/status/509017203581411329[/url]

2 on the same day would probably be odd.

It really seems like anything can be suspicious now [img]http://i.imgur.com/dmFifxs.jpg[/img]

You see a flashlight in an area like that, when there's been bombings from flashlights in the area before? Yeah. It's a suspicious flashlight.

It's funny - weren't they telling on the news that IS might be aiming at the UK next, and all of the sudden there's a spike in reports.

I'm sure theres a name for it. It's like with the malaysia airlines flight. They start reporting on more and more stories involving planes crashes, trying to make you think they're related. The Daily Mail is like #1 at this.
