Delhi-Bangkok Air India flight made an emergency landing at an isolated area in Bangkok today evening after a bomb threat.

Oh I forgot to add I was on the flight.

Being told by the captain that the airline has received a sabotage threat when up in the air was pretty mind boggling.

I'm only just in my hotel near swampy after a real nightmare.

Evacuation slides the full works.

Mad stuff.

Must have been a crazy time.

No need for the captain to induce a possible panic mid flight - dick head. Surely there is a protocol to follow for such events.

I think it must be a legal issue, having to disclose the emergency. Why else would you do it?
