They were in the air for 4+ hours so had "normally" burned off enough fuel to land. It sounds like some kid wrote a note on a napkin and left it in the biffy, hopefully not realizing how serious the consequences might be. I am not sure how seriously I would take a note found which pretty obviously was written enroute. It takes a suicide prone individual to write a note and then carry out some nefarious scheme to bring the plane down but it takes all kinds and obviously it is likely better to err on the side of caution in these cases but it is expensive to divert like that. I hope the kid or his family pays (in cash). In some ways it is good to have foreign carriers have "silly" problems with so called terrorists. The TSA would not have found this either.

Guest hitoallusa Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 It may not be a kid, it could be someone who wants to know how things will pan out if something like that happens. Maybe someone is trying to do a test drive to see how flight attendants respond, what kind of measures they take, how they communicate the emergency to the pilot and how long does it take to get a response from the pilot. It seems to me similar cases like these might be test drives to plan another attack. At least it will scare people and that itself will serve their purpose. I hope killing innocent people stops. How can anyone justify killing innocent people? How can anyone possibly think that their god will condone it? Quote
