Brazilian Bomb Threat

I can't even remember the last time I saw story about Brazil in my Boston Globe, readers.

"Jet lands in Brazil after bomb threat" by Associated Press | July 12, 2010

RIO DE JANEIRO — An Air France passenger jet from Rio to Paris that made an emergency landing in northeastern Brazil with 405 passengers aboard due to a bomb threat was cleared to take off again last night after no explosives were found on board....

The bomb threat was phoned in to Rio’s international airport by a female voice about 30 minutes after the plane took off, the Air France spokesman said....

In Paris, Air France spokesman Jerome N’Guyen confirmed a full inspection of the plane had been completed and nothing suspicious had been found. Passengers were taken to nearby hotels.

Ready for take-off!
