SHANNON, Ireland — A Pan Am jumbo jet bound from London to New York made an unscheduled landing at Shannon Airport after the airline received a bomb threat, and passengers waited seven hours before resuming their journey today on another plane.
Airport officials said a relief plane was flown to Shannon from London after Pan Am Flight 103 made the unplanned landing Thursday night. The 326 passengers took off with their luggage still on the original plane.
