Talking about bombs being carried out in airports or planes is not a good idea at all. A 22-year-old German had to experience this at the weekend at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport.
According to a statement from the Dutch police, the traveler told a fellow traveler shortly before departure that he had a bomb with him. Apparently he didn't mean it seriously, but the crew reacted immediately and got the executive to help. The 22-year-old had to leave the plane immediately and was first arrested.
As a result of this incident, the plane was delayed by around half an hour. The German was questioned extensively. He and his luggage were also thoroughly searched, but nothing was found that could have posed a threat in any way. During the interrogation, the 22-year-old is said to have stated, among other things, that it was a joke. Of course, the police also took a close look at the plane itself. Specially trained explosives dogs also assisted. After the all-clear was given, the flight could take off.
However, the German prankster was not allowed to fly because he was still in custody. According to the police, it is currently unclear what punishment he could face in the Netherlands. The airline could also make claims for damages. In any case, it should now be clear to the 22-year-old that jokes about bombs on board are not well received in aviation and can result in numerous immediate measures according to the Safety First principle.
