Child's drawing of a bomb left on Ryanair plane sparked terror alert at airport

A 13-year-old British boy sparked a full-scale terror alert after he left a drawing of a bomb in a fold-up tray, according to Dutch prosecutors.

The discovery of the drawing caused the immediate evacuation of Edinburgh-bound Ryanair flight shortly before departure on July 9 at Eindhoven Airport in the Netherlands.

Four other flights had to land on the military side of the airport due to the emergency situation, while other flights were diverted to Amsterdam while several departures were cancelled at the second biggest Dutch airport.

Ryanair flight FR1108 was eventually allowed leave for the Scottish capital after a three-hour and 20-minute delay, although passengers of other departing flights were not as lucky and had to wait until the next day to be able to depart on their delayed flights.

Dutch police officers have questioned the British boy, who said that the drawing was not meant seriously.

He reportedly told investigators that people should have understood it was not a realistic bomb threat.

Public prosecutors said they had a ‘good talk’ with the boy after which they decided they will not prosecute him.
