Security alert at Ema

[737James]

There is a security alert at Ema after staff spotted suspect package in pax baggage. Very few if any departures since 3pm local radio reports indicate large armed police presence and absolute chaos with pax everywhere and growing number of aircraft on the ground.
Im just glad im not at work today as sounds real trouble the delays are going to be ongoing for quite while yet with no doubt crew fast running out of time.

I've just heard some departures are now taking place through the staff gate/outsize luggage area but still a large backlog
