Passenger Claims Bomb on Plane Due to Flight Attendant's Phone Call, Says RT

At Sheremetyevo Airport, a passenger on a flight reported a bomb on board because she became irritated by a flight attendant's phone conversation, an insider from law enforcement told RT.

It was noted that the remark about the bomb was intended as a joke. “The woman was dissatisfied that while people were boarding, the flight attendant was talking on the phone with someone. She said, 'Stop talking, or I will let the bomb in my backpack out,'” the source quoted the passenger's words.

Following the comment, the crew called the police. The passenger was arrested and is currently being questioned. Earlier, it was reported that a passenger on the Moscow-Yerevan flight had claimed there was a bomb in her backpack.
