[Idris2002]

Not much on this yet, but it looks serious.

Dutch military police dispatched to 'suspicious situation' on plane at Amsterdam airport

(Sorry for the Russia Today link, but it was what was handy: better stuff when I get it)
That should read 06/11/2019. I thought we had an edit thread title option?

 

[mauvais]

Not sure what's going on with your thread title but it ain't right.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Perhaps edit the thread title from 6/7/19 to 6/11/19 whilst you can?

 

[Idris2002]

How do we edit titles, though?

 

[editor]

I've done it

 

[mauvais]

Is there something under Thread Tools above the OP? Otherwise summon a mod.

 

[Idris2002]

I've done it

Molto grazie

A hijacking attempt by three men with knives, apparently:

Schiphol Airport on lockdown as plane 'hijacked by three men with knives'

But the plane doesn't seem to have taken off. . . And how did they get the knives through?

Air Europa (UX1094 to Madrid) flight. Hostages. Situation now over (Dutch press report).

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Looking on the twitter, hijacking. Also bomb threat at Milan airport, & a suspected anthrax attack at a Belgian train station.

Sounds like a reaction to the ISIS leader being killed.

That's going to be quite the bill.

This is all because Priti Patel lowered the terror threat level of course.

False alarm, but amazing how quickly misinformation spreads.

China goes YY-MM-DD, UK goes DD-MM-YY, both of which make sense once you get used to them, then there's you lot of reprobates with your funny gallons and whatnot too

American exceptionalism And not imperial? I thought that was our last tottering claim in that regard.

Yes, this was my point. Pure evil!

 

[petee]

Ripping off the beer drinkers more like

 

[Dogsauce]

It’s so they can do William Hague style bragging about downing twelve pints of stuff they claim to be beer without it being as impressive a feat. Lightweights.
