Bomb scare forces US-bound plan to divert to Ireland
A Delta Airlines plane with 147 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Ireland's Shannon Airport on Sunday after a bomb scare, an airport spokeswoman said. All passengers were safely taken off the plane which was flying from Frankfurt in Germany to Atlanta, Georgia. "The plane landed safely and our emergency services are in attendance," the spokeswoman for Aer Rianta, Ireland's airports authority said. The aircraft has been parked in a remote part of the airport in the south-west of the country. "The plane is being checked out and this is expected to take several hours. The army bomb squad has been called in," the spokeswoman said. She was unable to give details about the circumstances that had led to the alert.
