Another said: “Several cops boarded the plane and announced someone was playing a ‘prank.’ The prank being someone on board had renamed their hotspot to ‘I have a bomb.’.
Passenger Bruce Steen, 63, told ABC police said: “If this is a joke, please raise your hand now, because we can deal with the practical joke differently than if this, if we have to do a full blown investigation of what's going on here.”.
Unimpressed, police ordered the culprit to come forward and when no one came forward, ordered everybody off the plane.
They told View From The Wing: “There were also at minimum 8 [police] officers as well as around 20 TSA agents hanging around the gate.”.
Passengers aboard a busy plane were ordered off the aircraft thanks to a chilling threat made on someone’s mobile phone.
