  1. Anyone remember the Bolivian President being forced to land and his plane searched by Austrian forces because the US thought Snowden was on board?

  2. Oh, you forgot to mention that it was reported that there was a bomb onboard and that was the reason for it being made to land in Minsk.. I don’t necessarily believe there was a real bomb threat, but it’s interesting that the Beeb chose not to report that bit.

  3. Nothing... The thing is he was told that there was a suspected bomb on board and that he must land at the nearest airport - Minsk.

  4.  @patricksweeney5308  .. No, I’m sure that’s the way it’s being presented.. As a pilot, if you’re told by ATC that you have a bomb onboard and to land at Minsk - that’s what you do.

  5. The pilot was told that there was a bomb onboard, that’s why he had to land immediately.
