On a Sunday evening, the bustling Paris Orly Airport in France was suddenly thrown into chaos. Police were seen rushing through the terminal, shouting and directing people to evacuate the premises immediately. It was a major international airport and one of the main gateways to the French capital, so the sudden evacuation caused quite a stir among travelers and airport staff.
According to reports, the evacuation was prompted by a bomb alert. At around 6pm local time, the national police service received an anonymous phone call claiming that there was a bomb inside one of the airport toilets. As a precaution, emergency evacuations were carried out at terminals two and three. The police source told La Parisien, "A claimant called saying that he had put a bomb in the airport toilets. The premises are being evacuated."
The situation was taken very seriously, and specialist services, including dog squads, were sent in to inspect the premises. The tense atmosphere was captured in footage shared on social media, showing passengers quickly leaving the airport. It was a nerve-wracking experience for everyone involved, as no one knew if the threat was real or just a hoax.
This incident was not the first time Paris Orly Airport had faced a bomb scare. Just a few days earlier, on Wednesday night, a Transavia flight bound for Montpellier was delayed for hours due to a similar threat. The plane was eventually cancelled, causing frustration and inconvenience for passengers. It was later revealed that the bomb scare was also a hoax, adding to the chaos and confusion surrounding the situation.
Thankfully, the precautions taken by the authorities at Paris Orly Airport proved to be effective and no bomb was found during the inspection. The airport was eventually declared safe and operations resumed as normal. But the incident serves as a reminder that even in a bustling and busy airport, security and safety must always be a top priority.
