An airplane with 161 people aboard made an emergency landing in the Black Sea city of Burgas on Thursday, following a bomb threat while en route to Egypt from Poland's capital of Warsaw, Bulgarian authorities said. All passengers and crew were evacuated, but no explosives have been found aboard, a spokeswoman for the Burgas airport told Reuters, adding that the airport remained closed. "The plane landed in Burgas at 05.48 a.m. (10.48 p.m. ET) after a request for flight number LLP8015 traveling from Warsaw to Hurghada to make an emergency landing, due to a report of the presence of explosives on board," the press officer said. A passenger who alerted crew about a possible bomb admitted on questioning to having consumed alcohol, a police spokeswoman said. A spokesman for Polish national carrier LOT said the aircraft did not belong to the airline but was a charter, destined for the Egyptian city of Hurghada.BREAKING: Flight from Warsaw to Egyptian resort of Hurghada makes emergency landing at Bulgaria's Burgas after bomb threat: Officials.
