OR Tambo Evacuation

My wife is at airport at the moment, and she says it's chaos, nobody knows what's going on. There was an explosion as well, and she says there's lots of police with bigs guns running around.
 
ACSA Spokesperson on 702 said an unattended bag was found in one of the terminal buildings.
As a precautionary, SAPS have evacuated the immediate area.
 
I know there's something planned, but that was only supposed to be from 7pm tonight, would be strange to communicate it, and then not stick to the planned schedule.
 
Controlled explosion maybe?
Was thinking that, but there's very little information out here. Heard from my sister that works at there too that someone said there was a bomb at one of the info desks, so there's a lot of conflicting info. Hopefully the facts will come through soon.

They have warning boards up everywhere even at check-in: Don't comment/joke about bombs, terrorism bleh bleh bleh. Also to be on the look out of unattended bags and what not. Would be great if someone actually spotted an unattended bag. I'm normally just too fixated on my own shyte and other things I hardly even notice the other people, not even to mention their luggage :D

Or the fact that the entrance to the terminal is not a parking spot? ROFL

Whenever I'm at the airport and I hear the announcements, everything starts looking suspect!

Probably controlled detonation of the bag
 
They probably started early.

Are you from a 1st world country where everything happens on schedule?

Oh ok then. Will let the guys know that do the demolishing of buildings via explosives that its cool. You tell us it is @ 22:00 but you can do it 10:00.....tis cool. We will just hope and prey that there is no people in the area when you pull the trigger.

They probably wanted to see what the real-world evacuation time would be like.

If everyone knew it was coming, the time would have been much longer, as people would not have been in a hurry.

Just wonder what would have happened if someone got injured in the process?
