No explosive device found on Turkish Airlines jet in Shannon
No explosive device has been found on the Turkish Airlines flight which was diverted to Shannon Airport Sunday. The plane – bound for Istanbul from Houston, Texas – was diverted to Ireland after a piece of paper with "bomb" written on it was discovered in the toilet. Nothing was found in the search of the aircraft in Shannon, a spokesman said, adding that the plane would take off again to Istanbul. At around 10:20am Irish time, the crew made radio contact with controllers at the Irish Aviation Authority. The crew issued a Pan-Pan distressed call and requested permission to dump fuel over the Atlantic to ensure they touched down within safe landing weight levels. Turkish Airlines has been targeted with a series of hoax bomb warnings over the last year. <br/>
