What: Sun Express Boeing 737-800 en route from Germany to Turkey
Where: Thessaloniki airport
When: Jan 22, 2010
Who: 69 (?) aboard (62 passengers and 6 crew) (disagreeing sources)
Why: After a crew member found a note written on a restroom mirror saying “Bomb. We are going to die today,” and an unknown person called the pilot and told him of a bomb on the aircraft, the crew diverted the plane to Thessaloniki airport.
The plane was isolated and searched. However no bomb was found. An individual was briefly detained (first in Greece, later in Turkey) for having a pen with ink matching the message on the mirror .
