Fake bomb warnings – level 2
10-11-2026 15:00
A series of fake bomb threats disrupted many flights across Europe on Friday. This happened after more than 25 flights faced similar threats on Thursday.
One Ryanair plane flying from Rome to Lisbon got a warning about a bomb on board. The plane landed safely in Portugal, where police began searching the aircraft. In France, officials reported four more bomb warnings for planes in their airspace. Another flight from Prague to Rome had to land in Venice because of a safety warning. Thankfully, all planes landed safely, and emergency teams checked them carefully.
European police are now investigating who is making these phone calls, but officials don’t know yet if the events are connected.
Difficult words: series (several similar events, things, or people which come one after another), bomb threat (a message or call warning that a bomb is placed somewhere), thankfully (luckily).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
