There's been a suspect package found at the International Terminal, which is being evacuated.
Police have blocked Horrie Miller Drive and are not letting anyone through.
There's also a Jetstar plane (I think he said) returning to Perth with hydraulic problems, just to add to the fun.

It is very dark.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Well whats the worry to people in the Terminal if its out on the tarmac, its fallen off a baggage trolly or a air side worker has not loaded it aboard an Aircraft, common practise when I worked for Qantas years ago.Bonez wrote:More info: http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0 ... 48,00.html

Re: Tarmac
Well since we're not there, we can't possibly know. But I wouldn't imagine they'd go to all this trouble just for the hell of it.jasonjag wrote:Well whats the worry to people in the Terminal if its out on the tarmac, its fallen off a baggage trolly or a air side worker has not loaded it aboard an Aircraft, common practise when I worked for Qantas years ago.Bonez wrote:More info: http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0 ... 48,00.html
