Thousands Excavated from Perth Airport after Suspicious Packages found
Monday, May 05, 2008
Perth International Airport was shut down for 12 hours from 6pm last
night after several suspicious cardboard boxes were found on a plane
from Malaysia.
Thousands of passengers and staff had to be evacuated from the
international terminal after baggage handlers noticed the packages on
the incoming Malaysia Airlines Flight 125 from Kuala Lumpur.
The packages were eventually x-rayed by the bomb squad and found to
contain nothing dangerous, but not before eight international flights
were either cancelled, diverted or delayed.
Perth Airport CEO Brad Geatches said it took about 20 minutes to
evacuate some 3,000 passengers and staff to an exclusion zone 2km from
the airport buildings.
Police also had to hold back thousands more people arriving at the
airport to board flights or collect friends and loved ones.

2km?
Just as well it wasn't Sydney - they'd have had to evacuate several suburbs.
Perhaps instead of moving the people, they should move the plane.

One can imagine scenarios where moving the plane would be a bad idea.
