Birthday ‘Bomb’ Joke Lands JetBlue Passenger In Jail

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Making A Bomb Joke is no Bomb... As a matter of fact using the B word on a plane is nowhere near acceptable. I was working a plane (had a avionics issue and just signing off. A Passenger was tired of waiting (guess he didn't want a safe plane to fly in) and yelled out at the top of his Lungs. "If you all don't get this plane out of here, I am going to blow this bomb!"... Everyone was evacuated, Aircraft was towed to a secure area, and bomb crews came through to check the plane. All that guy got out of it was a trip down town and an appointment with the local authorities and A Nice Sure place to spend the next 10 years with a lot other people around them!

Stupid is as stupid does. What an ()*()

Stupidity knows no bounds. Happy Birthday...idiot.

Joking about something like that is not taken lightly and the fool deserves whatever the authorities decide to do about it!

Not funny at all.
Rather Than listening to his birthday wishes and enjoying the cake , he should have kept his “ Tongue prisoner “
TSA were not willing to sing For him .
Be respectful and responsible Man .

This jerk deserves to spend several YEARS behind bars....this really is like yelling Fire in a movie house.

"So anyway, it's my birthday and I'm on an airplane, and I make a bomb joke! Hilarious, right? And I get arrested! Folks, I'm here all day ... because I'm in jail!"

I love the dedication of this comic.

In my 30 odd years with TWA we had TWO separate incidents where we removed a passenger from the aircraft! The last one in 1997. Things have certainly changed!!! I loved my job but glad I am not flyIng in this enviornment. SAD!!

Some people (like me) learn in the school of hard knocks to put themselves in the paranoid deal. After 4 months my legal mistake was dismissed. Parking and time fees were paid. The Prosecution Office decides if the defense office gets to work. This dumb guy had a private lawyer at >$1000.

I do not really need to read the story to know that one should not be making such jokes. Here's to a couple of years in the gray bar hotel. :cheers:

He was charged with making a false bomb threat.
So it's ok to make a bomb threat if it's real?
Just the way writers word things sometimes......

“Not a joke, man.”
