Passengers on a Virgin Atlantic flight from somewhere in the United States to London have today being terrorised, many think they were going to die. When it was announced that there was a bomb on the plane.
Escorted by 4 Canadian airforce jets, the aircraft diverted to New Foundland, Canada. Where after the passengers were all off, the aircraft was searched and screened. No bombs were found.
Does anyone know where the flight was from and to, and what aircraft it was. I think it was a 744, but I’m not sure.

RE: Virgin Bomb scare
as far as not hearing about the Virgin scare in LA, I can well believe that. I’ve been watching a lot of news, and neither CNN nor Fox, both of which I get via satellite mentioned anything about it, as they were to busy updating what was happening at ground zero. Sky News, BBC News 24 and ITN News all covered it. If you want to read up, there’s an article at BBC News online (news.bbc.co.uk)

RE: Virgin Bomb scare
Why have I not ever heard anything about this Virgin incident on the news? I live in L.A. What day did this happen? And Monster, make up your mind dude. First you said 5 fold, now 10. The next time you come on, it’s going to 15, perhaps?
