Monday, 10 Nov, 2011 0

A woman in Fort Myers, Florida is being accused of calling officials at Southwest Florida International Airport and threatening to blow up planes. Why?

She was angry her husband worked nights at the airport, reports a local NBC affiliate.

Soraya Evette Billinge allegedly called airport police who told her that they could not help her husband's schedule, the Daily Mail reported.

According to a report by the Lee County Port Authority Police, Billinge became upset that police could not help and so threatened ten planes. "Okay I blow up, I blow up ten planes," she reportedly told dispatchers.

Billinge was arrested and is facing felony charges.
