Weather was foggy this morning, hence the divertions. News has been reported in HLN: http://www.hln.be/hln/cch/det/art_27764.html
according to Het Laatste Nieuws (a Flemish newspaper), the bomb threat was against one particular pax:
Een Pools toestel met 166 passagiers is dinsdagmorgen na een bommelding afgeleid naar Zaventem. Het toestel van de Poolse goedkope luchtvaartmaatschappij Air Polonia was op weg van Polen naar Charleroi, maar is na de melding afgeleid naar Zaventem. "Het toestel is rond 10 uur veilig geland. Het vliegtuig staat op een afgelegen plaats en wordt nu onderzocht door de geëigende instanties. Twee van de drie start- en landingsbanen werden gedurende een uur buiten gebruik gesteld, maar zijn intussen opnieuw open", zo bevestigde Jan Van der Cruysse, communications manager van luchthavenuitbater BIAC. Het bleek om loos alarm te gaan. De Boeiing 737, die op weg was van Warschau naar Charleroi, kreeg tijdens de vlucht een bommelding binnen, gericht tegen één specifieke passagier. "Daarop werd beslist om het toestel af te leiden naar Zaventem, omdat deze luchthaven over meer middelen beschikt om dergelijke incidenten aan te pakken", vervolgt Jan Van der Cruysse. De passagiers werden van boord gehaald en vervolgden hun reis naar Charleroi per bus. (belga)

well, .. "nulpunt" or not, i've know spotters chased away from the "azielcentrum" spot with the excuse off beïng " a tread to the fueltanks over there " ..... 8O how do you catologise a plane with possibly a bomb onboard to be less dangerous ( apparently ) than some spotters with a cam and some objectives (oké, some are called CANON)Brubiac wrote:That place we call 'nulpunt' of the airport.

BRU autoreties keep amazing me
167 passengers, almost a full house then.
First thing that crossed my mind: howmany of them would have been on the SN/LO flights to visit Belgium if it wasn't for the Air Polonia flight to CRL.
I guess that quite some passengers were happy to land in Brussels. They arrived sooner (and cheaper?) at their (final?) destination then intended.

I also saw the plane taking off from runway 25R during my noon break. I was at the Abelag parking at that time, and was wondering what an Air Pollinia plane was doing at BRU. But now it's all clear off course. I made a picture too, but the plane was too far away for my 300mm lens.
But I have another question : While waiting at the Abelag parking for the Korean 747F that had to take-off (see http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=276053), I had my scanner on. It was searching on band 1, at which the international mayday-frequency is also programmed on my scanner. Suddenly, I heard this :
"Mayday, mayday, mayday, Scandinavian ***, we have problems with engine n°1, request priority landing at Paris CDG"
Does someone know more about this ?
