Air China Forced to Make Emergency Landing After Sucidal Woman Claimed to have a Bomb...

A woman on board an Air China flight forced the plane into an emergency landing after allegedly claiming she had a bomb on board.

The CA1336 flight from Nanning to Beijing was forced to land at Chongqing. A passenger on the plane said the alert was sparked after a woman claimed there was a bomb in the cabin of the aircraft.

The woman told staff that she wanted to commit suicide after her boyfriend had ended their relationship, and she decided there was no longer any reason to live.



Upon landing, the airbus A321-200 was met by police, ambulances and fire engines. The plane landed safely and there are not believed to be any injuries.

No suspicious devices had been found on the plane following security searches at the airport meaning that it appeared the woman's claim had been a false alarm.
