Plane Passenger Allegedly Makes Bomb Threat Before Forced Removal

A woman was arrested on Tuesday, Sept. 23, after allegedly making a fake bomb threat on board a Frontier Airlines flight, the company confirmed.

According to FlightRadar24, Frontier flight 1783 was set to depart Nashville International Airport at 7:30 a.m. local time on Sept. 23. However, the Denver-bound plane did not take off until 10:21 a.m. 

“A passenger claimed there was an explosive device on the aircraft,” a spokesperson for the company shared in a statement with PEOPLE. “Law enforcement support was requested and the passenger was subsequently deplaned.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, all other passengers were asked to temporarily deplane while law enforcement conducted a security sweep,” the spokesperson continued. “The threat was deemed noncredible, and the flight was reboarded and traveled safely to Denver.”

The flight eventually landed over two hours after its scheduled arrival time, per flight tracking data. 

A TikTok user claiming to be on the same flight recorded and posted a video on the day of the incident. In the footage, a uniformed officer is seen forcibly grabbing the female passenger’s arm and yanking her towards the aisle. 

During the attempt, the woman is heard repeating, “It’s gonna explode.”

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Denver Post, flight attendants told police the woman wasn’t allowed to fly because of how drunk she was. The outlet reports the airline’s employees asked her to leave the plane multiple times, but she refused, saying, “I have a f—— bomb, so nobody is going anywhere.”

Criminal court records reviewed by PEOPLE show the 35-year-old faces charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and a false report. The woman is set to appear in court on Nov. 7.

Earlier this month, another passenger was dragged off a plane by police for allegedly refusing to wear a seatbelt. 

The incident occurred in Manchester, U.K. on Saturday, Sept. 13, fellow traveler Carmela Colasurdo told Storyful. 

“We boarded the flight on time and were then told we would be delayed due to a passenger not cooperating with the crew,” Colasurdo told the outlet. “He was intoxicated and was refusing to fasten his seatbelt.”

In a video captured by Colasurdo, two uniformed police officers dragged the unruly passenger through the aisle with one official holding his hands and the other grabbing his feet. 

It is unclear what airline the incident occurred on as well as if the passenger faced any consequences. PEOPLE has reached out to the Greater Manchester Police and the Manchester Airport for more information.
