Paris Orly airport, located in the bustling city of Paris, France, made headlines on Sunday evening when it was suddenly evacuated by police due to a bomb alert. This major international airport, which is one of the two main airports that serve the French capital, was thrown into chaos as emergency evacuations took place at terminals two and three. The cause of the evacuation was an anonymous phone call received by the national police service at approximately 6pm local time, claiming that a bomb had been planted in one of the airport's toilets.
According to a police source who spoke to La Parisien, the caller stated, "A claimant called saying that he had put a bomb in the airport toilets. The premises are being evacuated." As a precautionary measure, specialist services, including dog squads, were brought in to thoroughly inspect the premises. Videos shared on social media showed passengers at Paris Orly being directed to leave the airport.
This is not the first time that Paris Orly has experienced a bomb scare. Just last week, on Wednesday night, a Transavia flight bound for Montpellier was delayed for hours and eventually cancelled due to a bomb threat. However, it was later discovered that the threat was a hoax.
In light of this recent incident, it is understandable that the authorities took the anonymous phone call seriously and implemented necessary safety measures. The safety and security of all individuals within the airport premises is of utmost importance, and it is reassuring to see that the necessary steps were taken to ensure their well-being. As the investigation into the bomb threat continues, the airport is expected to resume its normal operations soon.
