A FILIPINA bound for Bangkok, Thailand was ordered to deplane after cracking a bomb joke which is strictly prohibited in all airports across the country.
The Philippine National Police-Aviation Security Group said the incident took place Tuesday night, Jan. 20, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3.
Investigations showed that the passenger was already seated when a flight attendant instructed the passengers to place their carry-on luggage in the overhead compartments. At that moment, the passenger quipped; “Palagay na lang kuya sa itaas, medyo mabigat lang at meron kasing dinamita” (“Can you put it up there. It’s a bit heavy because it has dynamite.”)
The steward promptly notified the PNP-Avsegroup which subsequently ordered the prankster out of the plane. She was also banned from future travels with the airline.
