    Tonight walked bomb inside for two flights that countries had at Zaventem. That confirmed Belgocontrol to VRT news. Both aircraft are meanwhile to land safely. The medical emergency is in force.

    Sources have confirmed to our editors that the information about the bomb threats came via a Twitter message. The reports were immediately taken seriously by the federal prosecutor. The airport announced them off the medical emergency. The two flights that were called, meanwhile already landed at Zaventem. The passengers of the first flight that landed at 19:01 were meanwhile already left the plane.

    At Brussels Airport "some measures" taken after came a threat to the competent authorities "that we take seriously enough". That said Eric Van der Sypt, spokesman for the federal prosecutor. That threat comes on the basis of "what we might call a bomb threat."

    For more information on what measures are being taken at the airport, Van der Sypt redirects to the crisis center, but there's Wednesday evening someone not immediately be reached for further explanation.

    The famous football commentator Bart Raes was on the plane from Oslo to Brussels. "Only when the countries informed the pilot informs us of a bomb threat. Everyone was shocked. But we saw nothing. No fire or police. After waiting a while, we were allowed to get off. So it was a false report, I suppose. All passengers are already on their way home now or wait for a connecting flight. "
    There are bomb threats on two flights which are to Zaventem airport on the way. The medical emergency is in force.
     
    Reported that the VRT and confirms the federal prosecutor. That lets you know that after a bomb scare 'some steps' have been taken. " The threat was serious enough, says Eric van der Sypt, spokesman for the federal prosecutor. That threat comes on the basis of "what we might call a bomb threat.
    For more information on what measures are being taken at the airport, Van der Sypt redirects to the crisis center, but there's Wednesday evening someone not immediately be reached for further explanation. What is the threat is still not clear. In the fire service at Zaventem airport is told that there is an 'intervention' is underway.
    Woestijnvis- and Proximus TV football commentator Bart Raes was in his own words on one of the flights where a bomb threat for has arrived. He was en route from Oslo, Norway to Brussels.

     
    The unit has now arrived safely at Brussels Airport:

    well-informed sources report that the threat would not be specific. There would be more a question of information from different angles that could indicate bombs in airplanes in Belgium, but that information should be investigated further. It would therefore not involve direct, concrete bomb threats.

    Have ISIS ever given a warning? I don't believe it's accurate, but I guess the authorities are obliged to assume it is.

    Bet you anything this is a false alarm, started by a very sick individual.

    Just ban Twitter, that footage of them dragging out the Russian pilots and jumping on their dead bodies was sickening and all posted via Twitter.

    Whats better than putting the effort into getting a bomb on a plane, than doing none of the work and making the authorities and the public scared and react.

    Thats why NI has so many stupid fake bomb alerts compared to real ones - the whole point is fear, sadly.

    It also seems to be a fake alert going by what I posted above. Which is good at the end of the day.
