A Wizz Air flight from Israel to Poland was forced to make an emergency landing after a bomb threat was made against the plane. Passengers were evacuated onto the tarmac with injuries reported.

It should have been a three-hour flight from Tel Aviv to Poland's second largest city of Krakow.

After landing at the John Paul II Krakw-Balice International Airport, Wizz Air operated a plane that was taxiing to a remote part of the airfield before the order to evacuate was given.

Bomb threats were made against Wizz Air flights and the airport was evacuated.

Some passengers on the Saturday night flight claim the plane sat on the ground for more than 30 minutes before they were told to leave. Everyone was ordered off the plane after a bomb threat was made.

Emergency slides are used when there is an immediate and life threatening risk. The benefits of evacuation must outweigh the risk of injury in order for it to be considered a success.

Local officials don't know if the flight was evacuated because of a bomb threat or because of intelligence that the flight was in danger.

Some children were hurt when they were evacuated, according to witnesses. The passengers were herded on the tarmac.

A Wizz Air flight from Bari, Italy to Krakow was forced to make an emergency landing in Hungary after a bomb threat was made against the plane.

After more than six hours on the ground, security forces determined that the threat was not real. The personnel of Wizz Air followed the correct procedure when they evacuated passengers.
