Panicking passengers on a Malaysia Airlines flight that had to return to Melbourne because of a bomb scare were trapped on the tarmac for 86 minutes due to police bungling, a source claims.
Police did not storm the plane for more than an hour, during which time some passengers still believed a live bomb was on board.

Flight MH128 passenger and former AFL star Andrew Leoncelli tried to help staff contain a man who allegedly threatened staff on a Malaysia-bound flight.
It is understood the delay was partly caused by the failure of an on-call officer to respond to an emergency message.
