"Hello?"

"There's a bomb on board Olympic Airlines flight 411, so don't let it take-off."

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Just a messenger."

Well, not exactly what might have happened. Once more, it was a false alert. Police confirmed nothing suspicious had been found after a six-hour search of the aircraft and its baggage. The alarm was raised on Sunday when some Greek newspaper received anonymous phone calls saying there was a bomb on the plane, Olympic Airlines flight 411 which had 300 people on board. The Greek passenger plane had to be diverted to London's Stansted airport thanks to this.



Why do people never learn??!! I know of only one bomb threat which wasn't a hoax. It was made by a man who called himself "The Bomber", in the movie "Speed". I've seen several occasions of bomb threats in my life. Almost every year in primary school, and a couple years of high school. None of them involved the blowing up of any part of my school. Talk about bad luck.



Why do these guys make fake threats??!! Perhaps they don't have the guts to actually place a bomb. Or they derive some sort of sadistic pleasure in knowing that someone fears them. Talk about weird fetishes.
