A wave of anonymous bomb threats caused significant disruptions across Europe's transport systems on Tuesday, leading to multiple emergency landings and a ship's detention. The vessel "Mano Saphanut," carrying 1,400 passengers, was held in Greece following an anonymous tip about a suspicious item onboard. Meanwhile, four airplanes were forced to make unscheduled landings for security checks. One flight from London Heathrow to Warsaw's Chopin Airport diverted to Warsaw-Modlin Airport, where sappers conducted an inspection of the aircraft carrying 181 people. Another flight from Copenhagen to Chopin Airport was also targeted by a bomb threat, according to Danish authorities. In Spain, a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia made an emergency landing with 121 individuals aboard due to a bomb report. Separately, a plane that landed in Sofia, Bulgaria, was searched after an emailed bomb threat, though sappers found nothing. These incidents follow similar false alarms last week involving Delta flights from New York to Israel.
