landed safely at its destination. An hour into the 7 hour flight a Sri-Lankan man was running around the plane shouting that he has a bomb on board, so they tied him up on the floor and carried on for the next six hours to destination. Isn't policy to land as soon as practicable and search the plane after a bomb threat? Plus if anyone can find a video of the event (there must be one) could they please post a link? Thanks!

Orangehuggy,
I'm not really sure the world needs more videos of this!
It sounds like the crew have handled this well.
As for landing at the nearest airport, no that is not necessarily correct. I am reticent to discuss security issues, suffice to say that the decision about what to do with the aircraft, while still made by the pilot in command, is not one he makes without significant support by experts.
