On Monday morning, Departure Hall 3 of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) was evacuated after a man announced that he was carrying a bomb, causing local police to detain him as passengers fled.
A local television news station appeared to show a man lying on the ground surrounded by police, and eyewitnesses claim that people were running from the scene as soon as the threat presented itself.
