Norman 1 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 My flight from TGG scheduled for arrival at 2215 lastnight was delayed a bit due to the bomb threat.... Check with MAB Website, revealed these news 1. MAHB 1 2. MAHB 2 3. MAHB 3 I was wondering why our AK flight was delayed for take off and MH flight, which already pushed back earlier than FY, took off much later than FY... must be holding more than 20min on the runway. Only single runway 32R in ops when we arrived... Thanks God... it was just a false threat.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikman Ikreza 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 Not only bomb threat at KLIA, but another PIA plane make emergency landings at Istanbul airport as well due to bomb threat yesterday. Two PIA planes make emergency landings after bomb threat KARACHI: Two international flights of the national flag carrier PIA had to make an emergency landing at the Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur airports following bomb threats on aircrafts. PIA’s Manchester-bound flight from Lahore had to make an emergency landing at Ataturk International Airport, in Istanbul, following a bomb threat on the aircraft. A spokesman for PIA told The News that an email received at some office of airline had alerted its authorities regarding threat of planting of bombs on two flights of the PIA ie PK-898 Lahore to Kuala Lumpur and PK-709 Lahore to Manchester. He said the PIA flight PK-898 had safely landed at Kuala Lumpur Airport after which the aircraft was searched for clearance. Later, the plane was declared clear from safety point of view. Airbus A-310 aircraft was used for the Kuala Lumpur-bound flight, which would later return to Lahore as PK-899. The PIA spokesman said the Manchester-bound flight carried around 346 passengers and it departed from Lahore airport at 12 noon on Wednesday. Security officials with sniffer dogs searched the plane when it landed at the Istanbul airport. According to the Turkish media, the bomb alert came as the aircraft was flying over the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, which caused panic among passengers. The plane made emergency landing at the Istanbul airport as Istanbul being nearer to its position of movement. The spokesman for national flag carrier told The News around 11:00pm on Wednesday that security clearance had been given to the PIA plane. He said the PIA aircraft Boeing-777 remained at Istanbul Airport for around four hours.

Cire 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 wow...this terrorist thing is pretty real and scary. This people knows no boundaries and will go all out to complete their mission. The only hope is on the security measures taken up to prevent tragedies from the host country. In addition, Malaysia is also not to be too complacent on this sort of threats. Even when you don't disagree with their cause, it doesn't mean you are immune to their attacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those soldiers are from Bridget 10 and 8 Renjer PARA from Terendak, Melaka. They have been patrolling KLIA for the past 2 months with Pasukan Gerak Am (PGA) as instructed by KDN. The red beret folks are also known as PAC (Pasukan Aturgerak Cepat aka Fast Reaction Force)....I wonder why KDN choose PAC to patrol KLIA....surely they have better things to do than using paratroopers to patrol KLIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 I am still in need of convincing that the sight of all those more than adequately armed uniformed personnel, be they police, NS servicemen, SWAT's, RGK, PAC etc, is supposed to make me feel more secure about my personal safety Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
