This is not your exit, sir. Another BOMB Threat @ LAX

Someone thought they "was da bomb". You may or may not have heard about this fellow who attempted to change history again today by yelling "I've got a bomb" and continuing to try to open a door at the back of a DELTA Airplane while landing just earlier today at LAX.

Maybe he didn't get on well with the icing from the carrot cake or peanuts served in midflight snacktime. Maybe there was a yet another rerun of Friends and that put him over the edge...

Either way, the LAist, a fantastic blog, posted a series of twitter tweets by a fellow who was on the flight and I will now share these with you.


- Our plane is stopped on the taxiway they're asking for firefighters or police officers to come to the back of the plane
- Someone apparently "lost control" at the back of our plane. Still sitting on the taxiway
- Police escort to the gate
- "Legal authorities" boarding plane right now
- Captain is out here in the cabin on the phone. Legally cannot let anyone leave until police board
- Police on board
- 10 police officers and several suits onboard
- One man in custody
- Dragged by us in zip cuffs police have not cleared us to deplane
- Just got the go ahead to get off the plane. Now I can finally go pee! Hahahaha! :D
- Guy apparently tried to open the back door of the plane and said something about a bomb. That's a little more than I expected haha
- Oh well I at least I'm here in LA alright and got to finally run to the bathroom
