Stink bomb on Virgin Blue flight

Monday, 19 May, 2006 0

Police may lay charges after a stink bomb smelling of rotten eggs was set off on a Melbourne-bound flight.

Victoria Police said an odorous gas was released into the cabin of the plane during descent into Melbourne Airport last night.

“The aircraft was landing at about 8pm (AEST) when a strong odour was released into part of the plane,” spokeswoman Stacey Mair said.

“Detectives believe the odour came from a broken glass vial which contained a clear liquid which was giving off a ‘rotten egg’ smell.”

Ms Mair said the aircraft was emptied as normal after landing, with no passengers or crew requiring treatment.

Police were called out to the airport about 9.30pm (AEST).

“The combined Federal Police and Victoria Police investigation will continue with charges possible at a later stage,” Ms Mair said.
