Kerry O'Brien (7:30 Report - ABC TV) spoke with John Anderson this evening. As best I can remember:
  • Note made of pasted characters, possibly on a sick bag presented to pilot 1.5 hrs ex SYD
  • Note did not say "bomb on board", rather it alluded to the possibility.
  • Captain liaised with UA mgmnt and decided to return to SYD
  • Mass disruption @ SYD and throughout network as SYD closed for UA 747

I wonder if they'll relax the curfew @ SYD tonight to allow disrupted pax & aircraft to get to where they need to be?
