We didn’t know if it was an emergency or a security-related matter… All the emergency services arrived… It was one big mess.” The unnamed man filmed his fellow passengers standing around on the tarmac in the dark, milling around.Another passenger told Ynet that they were not being told what was going on.Read Trump nominees targeted by bomb threats, swatting“This is complete chaos and no one from the airline has spoken to us,” she said.Bomb-sniffing dogs also checked the passengers themselves, but found no signs of explosives.

After that, they told us that there had been a bomb threat.”At 3 a.m., some six hours after landing, the passengers retrieved their suitcases and left the airport. Bomb threatPoland
