Bomb threat on mirror of Turkish Airlines & 1972 Hollywood movie 'SkyJacked'

New Delhi: A Turkish airlines Bangkok-Istanbul TK65 flight with 148 passengers and crew on board has made an emergency landing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in New Delhi after a bomb threat written on the mirror of one of the toilets discovered by an alert person on board.
After the flight made an emergency landing in New Delhi, all the passengers and the crew were evacuated. The security forces have taken control of the plane. A thorough and massive investigation is also underway.
In the movie, a passenger aboard Global Airways Flight 502, a Boeing 707, discovered a bomb threat written on the mirror of one of the first-class bathrooms. A second threat was soon found left on a napkin in a galley. "Bomb on plane divert to Anchorage Alaska. No Joke, No Tricks. Death".
The Captain of the plane Hank O'Hara (Charlton Heston) took the threats seriously and to avoid an explosive decompression if a bomb goes off, the plane was flown at lower altitude, increasing fuel consumption.
