Passengers at the Brisbane International Airport (BNE) in Australia were shocked when they saw a bag on the luggage belt emblazoned with the words “Bomb to Brisbane”. The suspicious piece of luggage, which sparked security fears at the airport, actually belonged to a grandma who meant to write Bombay, not bomb!

Venkata Lakshmi, 65, was greeted by officers from the Australian Federal Police at the Brisbane airport, where she had travelled from Mumbai.

“She began writing Bombay before realising she had no space to fit it all in so she stopped at Bomb and wrote Bomb to Brisbane with Mumbai underneath.”
