Watch the dramatic moment passengers jumped out of plane after bomb scare

This is the dramatic moment  terrified passengers ripped off the doors a Virgin plane after after an alarming note was discovered mid-air in the toilet on the flight from Sydney to Albury.

Passengers aboard the 8.05am flight jumped more than a metre from the plane onto the tarmac at
Albury Airport as soon as the 68-seater turboprop landed at about 9.30am on Tuesday.

The plane was evacuated and a passenger arrested following the scare.

The reported bomb threat, which turned out to be a hoax, comes just a day after a deadly terrorist siege in Melbourne.

"Nothing was found, there was no actual threat to anybody, just a note, so there was nothing in it," a police spokeswoman told Reuters.

'It was just someone being very silly,' she added.

'It wasn't a bomb threat at all. It was not terror-related. It was just something we were concerned about and we wanted to make sure it was OK.'

Police said emergency services were called after a note written on a sick bag was discovered in the plane's toilet by another passenger as it approached Albury adding that the 68-passenger turboprop plane with 42 passengers on board on a domestic flight was evacuated at the airport in Albury, in southern New South Wales.
