Incident on Virgin Flight (today)
 

Virgin flight passengers evacuate via window, man arrested after plane lands

Passengers on a Virgin flight from Sydney to Albury have been evacuated via a window emergency exit and a man has been arrested after a scare on the tarmac.

Police surrounded the plane after it landed safely at Albury Airport about 9:30am.

Virgin Australia said the alleged security incident on flight 1147 was now in the hands of New South Wales Police.

A man is being questioned at Albury police station after allegedly leaving a one-word note in the bathroom.

Police said the man is helping them with their inquiries, but the incident was not terrorism related.

Wendy Willett was on board the flight and said passengers did not know about the incident until their plane had been surrounded by police in Albury.
Passengers had to climb out the windows, she said.
"When we landed we all saw the police outside the plane, so we knew something had happened," she said.

Based on Ch10 news tonight.

The letters "BOM" was written onto a sickbag and left in the toilet.

Can't even sp4l

Or he wanted to go to Mumbai...

Concerned about the Bureau of Meterology?

I expect that all the above were mentioned to Albury police when interviewed yesterday.

Lucky there wasn't a serious emergency what with everybody standing around casually in this photo stolen from the daily mail website...

Also of note the aircraft was VH-FVR which was grounded in Albury most of 2014 due to damage sustained in flight back in February 2014!

I've seen comments online elsewhere stating FVR went straight back into service which is not the case... Scheduled to ferry to BNE this evening.

All the emergency exit windows were pushed out and end up on the runway.

Can they be pushed back in or is there some engineering certification required ?
