A flight by American Airlines was said to be delayed for almost five hours in Texas because of a very strange reason.
The news outlets have confirmed that thanks to one passenger’s shenanigans of labeling a hotspot with a bizarre title, all passengers had to suffer.
Flight 286 was scheduled towards Charlotte in North Carolina but it was forced to return to the gate after the passenger chose to name their hotspot ‘There is a bomb on this flight’, sources reported.
The flight was an entire mess as no passenger had a clue as to what was going on until the very end. The pilot went as far as to describe the issue as one linked to administrative manners.
ABC News reported that the suspicious raised alarm and the ground staff had to follow protocol to figure out what was going on and rule out any possible threats.
Soon, the pilot did come out explaining the matter in detail and how a hotspot name cost everyone a lot of time. The police did come on board and asked the passengers if this was a joke then to please raise their hands now or they would be left to deal with the matter on their own terms. Since no one came forward, all passengers were disembarked and security screening was done.
