Bomb Threat lands sports reporter in the hoosgal!Verona - A German UEFA sport reporter was late. Too late. At the Verona Airport he had to make a flight which was to take him to Vienna. As ground personnel told the man that he could no longer board the aircraft he had an irrational - and criminal - idea.
As reported by the Italian media, he called the police and reported that there was a bomb in the aircraft. As a result the airport needed to be closed for several hours as the authorities checked the aircraft.
However, the reporter was impatient and made an error. Shortly after his anonymous call, he went to the gate and said that he had heard that the aircraft was not yet cleared for takeoff. This had not yet been reported in the airport information boards. The cell phone ultimately revealed that the German was the caller, and the Police arrested him.
