A Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Taipei, Taiwan, completed what appeared to be an uneventful flight with a safe landing in Taipei.

While unloading the aircraft a ground worker discovered a luggage container with a hand written label in Chinese indicating “Explosives! Handle with care!” and alerted security forces resulting in a massive deployment of police and firefighting forces including the bomb squad.
