OK, hang on a sec. From the BBC:
"A Delta Airlines flight from Amsterdam has been evacuated and searched after landing at Mumbai airport in western India.

Flight 70, carrying 244 passengers, was taken to a secure area after reports of suspicious cargo in the hold.

A Delta employee in Amsterdam had informed the pilot about the unidentified object, officials said."
Think about this for minute.

Two possible scenarios that I can see:

1) the DL employee tells the pilot before departure and they fly anyway, or

2) the DL employee sees the object in the hold but doesn't say anything about it until after departure.

Is anybody else here at least slightly concerned that something didn't go quite right on this one?
