Flights have been suspended following the discovery of a bomb at London City Airport. An air exclusion zone has been set up around the airport.

Nobody knows how long this is going to go on for, but there is no doubt that the risk of damage should the bomb go off is extensive.

Nobody has yet claimed responsibility for the device, but it is believed to be the work of right wing extremists, going by the name 'The Nazi Party'.

They are believed to be Muslims, because, let's face it, terrorism and bomb threats were only created after 9/11, weren't they?

Ever been caught up in a bomb scare?

:mad: Not this shit again. There's always a bomb somewhere when I'm supposed to go on holiday (no, I'm not staying here - have you seen the weather outside?)

Oh that's where I left it...

Erm...I mean, I haven't been to London in mont....ermm never.. Yeah, thats it.

Ever been caught up in a bomb scare?
Yup. We were doing biology experiments at the top floor of the building at the university when the building was ordered evacuated. Of course we hated to let go of stuff (you know, they were expensive and the experiments were hard to start and perform and we're in the middle of it...). I even brought a micropipette a classmate left lying around to prevent somebody form stealing it.

When we got around to walking down the stairs to the ground floor, our professor in history told us that the police had finished searching, there was no bomb, but he said, laughing, "if there was really a bomb, you're screwed." Turns out there was a scheduled examination in a certain Physics subject and the bomb threat was relayed to the department handling physics. (You know, so as the exam won't push through.) It happens once in a while, they said.

And as far as the question in the OP is concerned, yes I have been caught up in bomb scares...three times in one week during high school. I remember the first one that was called in. Everyone started running from the High School buildings to the streets, and I remember a transformer blew up at that same time, and I saw my friend Jeff fall to the ground, and I was tempted to go help him up, but I just left him there. Screw being hit by a bomb... :p There was another friend of mine, that was so scared when the transformer blew, that she pissed herself and fainted. LOL Oh, the fun times at high school. We also had drug searches, race riots, gang fights, a drive by shooting, and so on... A town of 16,000 people. Weird world we live in.

Ever been caught up in a bomb scare?

I had three false alarm bomb scares in my final year of school and I was in Banbridge with my Aunt and Uncle in 1998 when a bomb was detonated. We were a little bit down the road luckily and had no injuries between us

Lulz.

Muslim Nazis? *has idea for film*

Lucky they found it when they did then..

As for being caught in a bomb scare before? Sorta and kinda. I've had to be evacuated from my home when I was kid when they found large amounts of Semtex in a nearby house. Not really a bomb scare, more of a sting operation I guess. That and both my Mum and Dad have escaped from being in bombed areas by chance.

edit: just read the article. lulz at the OP comment :D

travel agency that promises membership to be serviced by 74 virgins should their plane NOT reach it's destination.

but the fine print states that the plane's destination may not match the ticket holder's. :D

I heard they only do one inflight movie though, but they really immerse you into it?

On my way home from kendo with easilly 30 pounds of bogu to drag around, 11:30 at night and really just wanting to catch a bus and go home, I get off the train, only to find the entire station evacuated and police yellow taping the place. I'm told to "leave, leave NOW" but after a 2 hour practice on very little sleep I could only muster 'what?'. Apparently buses were running from the next station over so I point at my huge load in frustration and finally just walk home with it balanced on my head -_-

Apparently, there was a bomb threat at the station. Would have been nice if the police had actually said as much.

Kendo? Bogu? :confused:

Kendo? Bogu? :confused:

Kendo: Japanese word for fencing; the "sharp way", as opposed to judo "soft way" (weapons-free).
Bogu: I only know that as an acronym for "bend over, grease up" (ie, expect to get screwed) but perhaps he is using it as a generic term for "crapola".
