Jet Airways Bhuj-Mumbai Flight Makes Uneventful Landing Due to False Bomb Threat

A Jet Airways local flight in India had to make an emergency landing due to a bomb threat.

The flight 9W 2536, set from Bhuj  to Mumbai, was on its way when the Bhuj airport director received an anonymous call, stating that there is a bomb in the air plane. Consequently, a full emergency was declared at the Mumbai Airport, with ambulances and fire tenders ready at the scene.

The flight landed at 10:37 am and all 60 passengers and 5 crew members were safely evacuated.

The air craft was later declared safe, after a two hour long security check.

    Fly Keystone Cops, no, I mean Fly India

    George’s Point of View

    Once upon a time, there were two runways: Runway 27 and Runway 14. They crossed each other. It didn’t matter that they crossed each other because the KING of the runway (Air Traffic Control) never allowed planes in a collision course. In Air Traffic Control school, they teach that a collision course would be a very bad thing.

    So one day, an Air India A310 was on Runway 27, and waiting for input from Air Traffic Control. And, simultaneously, a Jet Airways Boeing 737-800, flight was waiting on Runway 14.

    Somehow, both planes started to take-off.

    Air Traffic control recognized that the very bad thing was about to happen, and cancelled one of the take-offs.

    Fortunately both pilots were awake, saw the what was happening and both pilots rejected takeoff.

    (Fortunately, they teach that a collision course is a bad thing in Pilot school too. Nice juxtaposition, that.)

    It’s a good day when no one dies from the accident that could have happened.

    It’s not a happy ending yet, because it won’t be over until the investigation is over. No one died…but it remains to be seen if heads may still roll.
