Bomb threats on Delta and Southwest flights from Portland turn out to be hoax

#bombscare #atlanta #southwestairlines #deltaairlines As reported by Atlanta airport spokesman, threats were received against Delta and Southwest flights that were coming from Portland and Milwaukee respectively. The threats had been made online - reportedly on Twitter.
Accordingly, the flights were escorted by two US fighter jets into the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Subsequently, the police searched both the planes at Atlanta's airport and could not find any bombs. The planes had landed safely and had been evacuated.
It seems a bomb squad and sniffer dogs were used to carry out the police search after the planes landed. There were 86 passengers on board the Southwest flight, and that they were being re-screened.
Incidentally, the busy Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is home to Delta and is serving nearly 100 million passengers.
Already, in this week, there was a bomb scare in the JFK airport of New York – here also, no bomb was found. In view of the terrorist activities taking place all over the world, no place is safe and any mention of a possible threat cannot be taken lightly and ignored and, it sets off the panic button and starts a chain reaction.
