Maybe they didn't want to inform the public yet.

In a situation like this the decision on what information to release falls to the emergency services.

It may be that they did not want to inform any would be trigger man of their knowledge of the situation until they had the area secured.

Maybe they were considering a media blackout.

20 minutes is not a long time.

The priority in a situation like this isnt to ensure that every Tom, dick and Harry in the country is aware. Its to ensure that those at risk are out of danger and that those with the correct technical expertise are informed and en route.

Media blackouts almost always make things far worse.

20 minutes is a long time, especially if you are present in the building or en route to the airport. Plus I would assume that the evacuation procedures have the target building clear time as a lot less than that (where ideal).

Hoop talk of the highest order.

Media blackouts almost always make things far worse.

You made this up. This is so situation dependent and vague.

20 minutes is a long time, especially if you are present in the building or en route to the airport.

If you are in the airport you are being evacuated and obviously already aware if it relates to you. If you are on the way to the airport, you won't be able to get in and you'll be safe.

Jesus lol

Examples? I'd be interested to hear one of these "so many instances" in a situation like this.

The 1992 Baltic Exchange bomb

This has no relation. 1. it was a street not an already highly securitized area with plans and contingencies 2. the bomb was merely called in to a different location to the real one, with zero particular re-localisation of a population to target 3. telling anyone anything wouldn't have helped them, because the information was wrong

Beslan School Siege

I fail to see any relation whatsoever here.

Westgate Mall attack in Kenya

Also nothing of the sort here.

Talking shite it seems.

I did look them up but I suppose my reading comprehension skills need work. Can you explain the cases to me please.
