Sunwing pilot's 'misunderstanding' caused bomb scare near Toronto's Pearson airport

Police dispatched bomb squad in November after pilot found what was described as an 'old radio battery'

By John Lancaster, CBC News Posted: Jan 09, 2017 5:00 AM ET Last Updated: Jan 09, 2017 7:42 AM ET

A Sunwing Airlines pilot's "misunderstanding" set off a massive emergency response to a bomb threat near Pearson International Airport that forced the evacuation of two buildings and the dispatch of Toronto police's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive Unit — an elite team that responds to suspected acts of terrorism.

Shortly after 9 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2016, Toronto police received an emergency call after a Sunwing pilot discovered what he feared might be some sort of explosive device stuffed into his internal company mailbox.

When CBC Toronto called Sunwing about the incident, an employee who would only identify himself as Matthew described the device as "an antique radio battery." He said it was left for the pilot by one of his colleagues in what another employee described as a "joke."

The unidentified employee said the pilot thought "it would be cool" to put the battery in a colleague's mailbox.

Two large industrial buildings used by hundreds of Sunwing employees on Fasken Drive, near Pearson airport, had to be evacuated as police cordoned off the area. Toronto police also called in their CBRN unit — essentially a group of officers trained to deal with chemical, nuclear or bomb threats. Eventually, those officers determined the device wasn't a threat.

At the time of the November incident at Sunwing's Toronto offices, there was no mention Sunwing employees were involved.

'This was a misunderstanding'

In an emailed statement to CBC Toronto, Janine Massey of Sunwing said: "We can confirm that on Nov. 13 one of our pilots arrived at the Sunwing Airlines office and found an old radio battery in his mailbox. As he didn't recognize it and there was no note attached to it, he escalated the matter out of an abundance of caution.

"The authorities were notified, and in the interests of public safety, they dispatched their unit which handles hazardous materials and explosives. After investigating the scene, they were satisfied that this was the result of a misunderstanding between the pilot who left the battery and the pilot who found it."

Massey declined to answer if the pilot who left the device did so as a joke, or if the pilot has been disciplined. 

It's not clear how much the significant police response cost. Const. Caroline de Kloet, spokeswoman for the Toronto Police Service, confirmed the incident occurred, saying: "but no charges were laid. The complainant did not want to press charges."
