That Suspicious Luggage

Before I would talk about the days IN London, let me start with the morning, the early morning at the airport. My flight was at 8.45am and the check-in would be closed *promptly* at 8.05am mentioned on the easyJet website. When I arrived at the CDG terminal 3, it was this chaotic scene where the staff found a *suspicious* luggage. One high ranking airport staff was *walking* to each spot to tell other staffs about the news. We were all confused 'cause only certain parts of the queuing passengers were supposed to get out of the terminal (which looks like a warehouse). We were walking slowly 'cause 1) we did not want to miss our flights (how stupid was that) 2) it did not seem so urgent as there were still some people quequing and working there. 3) there was no official announcement (I don't even know if they actually have whatever tool to announce publicly.) Then more policemen came as well as a few soldiers to *control* the situation...the whole thing was handled VERY badly and slowly. It was incredible how the French system would be undergone under a supposed-to-be an urgency.

Understaffed and way too unprepared whatsoever.

People had to wait outside without any notice or announcement. There was not a single announcement to tell exactly what was going on or to confirm the situation. Good that it was not a long period of waiting and it was only 30 mins delay of my flight.

However, if this was real, I seriously don't think that I would have a chance of writing this blog right now.
