Bomb in Paris airport....?

[timbob]

Nothing on any news sites yet (so it may yet be twaddle!), but a friend of mine's just arrived into Charles de Gaulle in the middle of a bomb alert... And she's just texted me to say the bomb's gone off!

Erk!

Bah! Beat me to it!

Nothing on the news channels at all so far.

Ahh the detonation was a controlled detonation apparently - so nobody hurt (thank god!)

Bomb disposal squad has apparently disappeared already, and the Army's moving everybody on. My lady friend is already out of the airport and into a Taxi!

Probably the baggage handlers, want a payrise otherwise they blow it up.



Those crazy french.

PH. First for breaking news...

Same happened to me 2 years ago at CDG - quite scary when it went 'pop'!

Might also have been the bomb disposal workers who planted it, no pay rise and they don't defuse it.
