I was just watching Sky News and they're reporting that a small bomb has exploded at the Ibiza airport and it's been evacuated!!!Does anyone has more news :?:
 
I was actually in the airport just about to go through the gate to board my plane when the security guards started running round shouting 'get out'! Scary stuff indeed and nobody really knew what was going on. Everybody was eventually herded outside the airport perimeter towards the main road.
The worst thing about it was the kids and old people being stuck in the red hot sun for three and a half hours with little or no shade. I've got a bit of a red slaphead now! :oops:
 
it was terrifying- was one step away from boarding gate at 12.35pm for a 13.05 pm flight when we thought we were moving gates as everyone starting moving up- no alarm or information was given and only realised after we kept following until we got to the other side of security search and saw people jumping over! the airport staff all cleared off looking after themselves.was also told they put the burger king shutters down with people still inside and sliding out underneath! was rold to run as far as possible-ran towards car park to be shouted at by staff "away from cars, bomb, bomb, bomb!!"
told to walk 1.5 miles to sant jordi, where people were shoving each other for the water bottles being chucked out of trucks by the police & red cross.
when the airport reopened- we entered to find our plane boarding, with 1000's people awaiting security search- for our once weekly flight departing any minute even though it had just reopened! luckily airport security let us push through without a search or x ray with 4 litres of spirits (duty free) bought from departure lounge earlier and water bottles. all search restrictions went out the window- just get on and out asap!
i think the staff need a little more training in emergency procedures as it was handled terribly even though i understand that no-one is prepared for such things.
 
James, you must've been on the same flight as me - Exeter. The most annoying thing was that when we got out of the terminal nobody told us where to go, so most people wondered dazed into the car park, then I heard some guy say that it wasn't the best place to be and I thought 'he's got a point'! so we walked to the left and out of the perimeter but that was more luck than judgment. I just hope they've learn some lessons from our poor experience for future problems. I have to praise them on getting the airport up and running again so quickly afterwards, although maybe a bit too quickly for you!
Was interesting to see so many armed cops at Exeter when we got there, but that was because of what had happened at Glasgow...
