ZERO BOMBS. MAXIMUM CHAOS! Authorities across Europe searched seven passenger flights Tuesday after a wave of suspected bomb threats, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c6x2wd4v04eeo\">BBC<\/a> reported \u2014 and found no explosives.<\/p>\n<p>Two Ryanair jets landing in Rome (from Dublin and Lisbon) were searched after anonymous tips; the Dublin flight was escorted by the Italian Air Force. A Manchester\u2013Murcia Ryanair flight was surrounded by fire engines and a bomb squad; passenger Sarah told BBC Radio 5 Live crews kept them on the runway about 30 minutes, then evacuated them without their bags. Two Warsaw-bound flights were hit, including a Heathrow flight diverted to Modlin, briefly closing that airport.
