Melbourne Airport being evacuated [Breaking]

Caught this on ABC NEWS 24 here in Australia.

No other details yet.

Crazy times

Can't find anything online yet, I swear I heard them say it.

Some planes have been diverted as well..

Could just be a fire I suppose.

fingers crossed its just a fire, scary times...'

airports been evacuated, passengers told to remain on their planes..

no real sources on ABC Australia as of yet.

Hopefully just an idle threat of some sort, though it would seem it is a threat at the airport and not on a plane at this point.

a reply to: Agit8dChop

So I wasn't hearing things?

Yes, fingers crossed it's nothing major.

Hopefully abc gives us more details soon, been watching their live coverage of the French saga.

Nope true

But if you forget your briefcase with a laptop and phone that beeps because of an alarm on a train station or airport the feds will come, just to be sure right?

Bomb threat apparently.....

a bomb threat they say...

I'm guessing after a few hours they will announce it was false alarm.

Somebody was late for a flight I guess
