On February 13, 2012 the dutch police man reported that a man had locked himself in a toilet stall. They had also claimed that he had a bomb with him while he was in the Amsterdam Schipol airport. Because of the incident that occurred with this man, the airport was forced to evacuate. Specifically, the two main International airports at about 11:30. Police and bomb squads also made an appearance at the scene. About four hours later, the two terminals had been reopened. The man says, he had no intention of involving the public. However, that didn't matter because one of Europe's busiest Airports was still affected by this and was forced to shut down. After the man was discovered, investigations occurred by the Dutch border police. They had to examine wether the man continued with explosives in this carry on luggage. This event was shown on Live television, the police were also being shown along with their guns, dogs and heavy duty hard hats. "By 4 pm the Amsterdam airports website was showing 16 cancellations to inbound flights and 11 to departures, dozenz of flights were delayed." It is stated that things are not back to normal yet. But the operation is over and things are getting bak on track.
