EK001 today
I'm not normally one for gossip - but does anyone know anything about the armed evacuation of a guy from EK001 at LHR today?? I was mid-way back in J, and after we arrived at the stand the crew told us all to remain seated (quite forcefully) - and heavily armed soldiers and police boarded the plane and removed a guy from the back of the plane by literally dragging him out with armed escorts front and back...????

Oops - it has today's date at the top of the page - I never noticed the date of the report was actually last January!

Can I just delete post #3?
