Overview
- About 160 passengers were evacuated from the S8 at Unterföhring station on the evening of July 1 after Deutsche Bahn staff reported an unattended red suitcase.
- Federal Police bomb disposal experts then escorted the train to the nearby Steinhausen depot to prevent blocking the airport route during the inspection.
- The suitcase was found to contain only personal clothing and an Italian ham, leading authorities to declare an all-clear within minutes.
- With no owner identified, the item was handed over to Deutsche Bahn’s lost and found office.
- A replacement S8 was immediately made available, enabling travelers to resume their journeys without needing on-site assistance.
