Sensationalism where none exists?

Traffic on the R108 roadway builds as passing motorists all stop for a look at the minor incident. surrounding flight DAL073.

Ironicially, by the time this image was taken, the seurity alert was long over!

The 767 encountered a 'security alert' whilst en-route to the US, and diverted to Dublin. Fortunately the incident was a false alarm. Upon roll out on landing on runway 10 the wheel brakes overheated and this situation was promptly, and efficiently attended to by the DAA fire service. The 'story' made several news outlets and amazing conclusions were reached by those present.

As a frequent, very frequent, visitor to this area, I have never seen as many people!!!! It seemed every person had a theory. Of all the myoipc questions that were put to me, by quasi 'experts', I have to note that no-one enquired of the passengers and their ordeal!!!!!!j

Delta airlines flight 'DAL073' Istanbul - New York JFK encountered a security problem whilst en-route, and diverted to Dublin.

The aircraft was parked on the old runway 23 and was the subject of much attention.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story perhaps was evident here? Fortunately for all concerned the 'security alert' was a hoax. The aircraft had a faster than usual approach to runway 10 as dictated by the urgency of the situation. With perhaps a high weight remaning the aircraft was heavy. The resultant braking action to slow the jet overheated the wheel brakes slightly. This was the main focus of the DAA Fire Service. Perhaps to the disappointment of the media present.
