I was wondering about that when I saw it from Rockaway Blvd. My dad was going to the event, and he said as soon as the LOT flight lands, we need to go. Caught it form Firestone, and then driving on Rockaway, we saw the plane taking away from the terminals, to, what looked to be around the fire men's training area. I noted that, but thought it was only so the PM can get off, and then the plane would take to the terminal with the pax.
Anyway, when my dad got back, he told me the pres asked the PM [roughly translated] "was it risky to fly on a pax flight, regarding the bomb threat." wow!
Next time they need to bring the TU-154 :wink:
anyway, I'm grad there was no bomb, everything ended safely.
