Detectives investigating a simple soft drink can that forced a flight carrying 180 passengers into an emergency landing at Melbourne Airport have changed their minds about the case - again.
The captain of the Air Mauritius flight, which took off at 1.24pm (AEST) yesterday, made the decision to return to Melbourne Airport after the word "bomb" was apparently written on a soft drink can.
One of the first reports describing the mid-air emergency was that masking tape had been used to attach a piece of paper that stated "bomb" on the can.
No explosives were ever found.
But the next day the story had changed to one of a simple misunderstanding.
"It has been determined that no offence has been detected due to an initial misinterpretation of foreign lettering on the print of the can," a police spokeswoman said this morning.
A new police statement, however, said this evening that investigators had reached another interpretation of the suspicious little can.
