COSTLY BOMB HOAX

Air hostess Daniela Carbone, 47, whose bogus bomb threat caused Flight AR1304 to Miami to be delayed seven hours and cost Aerolíneas Argentinas an estimated US$1 million (from the evacuation of the 270 passengers, the search for explosives and rescheduling), appeared in court on Tuesday after being arrested last Sunday on charges of public intimidation and disrupting a public service. Although it is not clear whether she will go to prison, she stands to lose her job.
