Qatar Airways bomb threat incident



Luckily it seemed to be only a hoax but it frightened passengers and defense forces in UK .
What happened on flight Doha -Manchester on 4 th of August ?
A UK passenger sent a written notice to the captain about a bomb he had hidden on the plane .The pilot informed the defence forces which sent a military fighter jet to "escort" the plane .
What was the aim of the passenger with this threat ? How can a military jet change the course of the events ?
Yet there is no answer on those questions .
One thing is sure -there was no bomb on the plane .

Sandstorm in Dubai caused panic on QA plane

Luckily nobody was hurt but it must have been a terrible experience . Who would have thought that something goes wrong on a routine flight like Doha Dubai ? Unfortunately , a huge sandstorm made the plane lose altitude -so sharply that the passengers were sure for some moments that the plane was to hit the ground .
The QR 112 from Doha ' pilot lifted back the plane to normal altitude and returned to Doha .

I am not an aviation expert and I would like to understand how and why all this happened .Why the poor visibility the brownout made the plane lose altitude ? Aren't there sophisticated devices built -in the plane to avoid such incidents ?
