Passengers ‘bomb’ hoax meltdown forces emergency landing
A Manchester bound easyJet flight from Turkiye took a bizarre turn and diverted to Germany following a woman’s strange meltdown.
The passenger began screaming about a ‘bomb’ and attempted to open an emergency exit.
The flight from Dalaman, Turkiye was forced to divert to Frankfurt.
The passenger was ‘wrestled away’ from the door and subdued.
She started by running up and down the cabin aisle screaming about a bomb, a passenger told the media.
“She then grabbed the emergency exit door handle cover and ripped it off. She then went for the handle but was stopped by other passengers and then taken the back of the plane
The pilot then announced the plane would be diverted.
Flight EZY2148 eventually landed in Manchester several hours later.
