Re: Pacco sospetto a bordo: aereo scortato e fatto atterrare a Manchester
RAF jets were scrambled when the pilot of the passenger plane received information about a possible device on board
Military jets have escorted a passenger plane to Manchester Airport after reports of a possible device on board.
The Qatar Airways plane was escorted in to land by the Royal Air Force (RAF) following information received by the pilot.
Greater Manchester Police said officers were treating it as a "full emergency" as they did not know "how genuine this threat is".
All flights in and out of the airport have been temporarily suspended.
'Comprehensive response'It is understood the plane involved is an Airbus A330, which was escorted by a Typhoon from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.
Ch Supt O'Hare said: "An incoming plane has been escorted into the airport by the Royal Air Force as a result of information received by the pilot about a possible device on board.
"We don't know how genuine this threat is but it is absolutely vital we deal with the situation as a full emergency.
"As a result people will see the police and other agencies at the airport and on the airfield. At this time I would urge them not to be alarmed.
"Our response will be as comprehensive as it is proportionate, with the safety of those on board and in and around the airport our paramount concern."
Eye witness Chris Phelan, 42, from Heaton Moor, was in his garden when he heard the roar of a jet plane before filming it on his camera.
"I looked up and saw what looked like a Typhoon jet flying close to a passenger plane.
"I live on the flight path so I'm used to seeing planes coming into land but it's the first time this has ever happened in the four to five years I've been here."

Foto da twitter05 agosto 2014Ci sarebbe una bomba a bordo dell'Airbus della Qatar Airways proveniente da Doha e scortato dalla Raf fino all'atterraggio a Manchester. La polizia inglese ha detto a quotidiani locali che si sta occupando di una "situazione di emergenza". Intanto, sulla rete sono comparse le foto dell'atterraggio e dei due aeroplani vicini, quello civile e quello dell'aviazione militare inglese:
La polizia inglese ha riferito in un comunicato di non sapere quanto seria sia la minaccia, tuttavia gli agenti sono in assetto di emergenza. Gli agenti invitano poi a "mantenere la calma" e avvisano che "un gran numero di poliziotti" sarà nell'area dell'aeroporto.

Very strange seeing the passenger plane being escorted by a fighter plane, dangerously close as well. @manairport pic.twitter.com/Qfq9SoB8zv

Ecco, chiedo a qualcuno esperto anche io.
Inoltre, com'è possibile che un pacco sospetto sia stato fatto passare attraverso i vari controlli?
Lo scortava per eventualmente abbatterlo nel caso se ne fosse ravvisata la necessita'.
Per il resto lo chiarira' l'indagine.
Ciao.
Sembrerebbe (fonte corriere.it) che l'aeroporto sia stato riaperto e che sia stato fermato un uomo a bordo del volo.
Nel Regno Unito un aereo che dichiara 'emergenza terrorismo' (vale a dire pacco sospetto a bordo) viene scortato verso un gruppo ben preciso di aeroporti. Per esempio nella zona di Londra usano Stanstead, non permetterebbero mai ad un aereo con un sospetto ordigno esplosivo di atterrare a Heathrow.
