Sensationalism where none exists?

 

Traffic on the R108 roadway builds as passing motorists all stop for a look at the minor incident. surrounding flight DAL073.

 

Ironicially, by the time this image was taken, the seurity alert was long over!

 

The 767 encountered a 'security alert' whilst en-route to the US, and diverted to Dublin. Fortunately the incident was a false alarm. Upon roll out on landing on runway 10 the wheel brakes overheated and this situation was promptly, and efficiently attended to by the DAA fire service. The 'story' made several news outlets and amazing conclusions were reached by those present.

 

As a frequent, very frequent, visitor to this area, I have never seen as many people!!!! It seemed every person had a theory. Of all the myoipc questions that were put to me, by quasi 'experts', I have to note that no-one enquired of the passengers and their ordeal!!!!!!j
