Terminal 1 of Manchester airport was completely evacuated after there was a bomb scare from a baggage scanner after it flagged up a suspicious looking image.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The scare came at about 8:15am on the Monday and left the terminal closed until about 12:15pm when eventually the \u201cbomb\u201d was declared safe by bomb disposal experts. The busiest Easter weekend was probably the worst time to have such a scare with many passengers being delayed. I\u2019ve kept you long enough your probably wondering what this \u201csuspicious package\u201d is was it a bomb where they right to close the airport. Well what it actually turned out to be was a mobile phone packed tightly with contact lens fluid forming a shape that resembled that of the image of a bomb underneath the baggage scanner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Was it better to be safe than sorry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many passengers were annoyed by not only the fact it wasn\u2019t a bomb it was merely contact lens fluid which is ridiculous enough but more to the point it took 4 hours to reopen the terminal. Police and bomb disposal experts were also called to the scene as a precaution wasting their valuable time and money.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand what would have happened if it would have been a bomb however? There would have been a national scare and the airport would have been shut for a much longer time but no one would have complained. Surely it must be better to be safe than sorry, despite all the angry passengers it was worth it to check.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A little note for next time you go to the airport doesn\u2019t pack your contact lens fluid next to your mobile phone! Warning could cause severe delays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 2nd April the busy Easter weekend, Manchester airport evacuated all its passengers and staff a like as it laid baron for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-travel-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Manchester Airport Evacuated On The 2nd April - Indigo Car Hire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Manchester airport Evacuated on the 2nd April, what was the culprit of the detection of a bomb shaped object?
