There was a bomb scare on board an SIA flight yesterday (28 September), with the RSFA deploying F-16 fighter jets to escort the aircraft to Changi Airport.
A man had reportedly claimed that there was a bomb inside a carry-on baggage as well as assaulted the flight crew on board.
A passenger who was onboard the flight during the harrowing incident shared her unpleasant experience on Twitter.
@VeraTheApe, shared a photo of the alleged troublemaker on her Twitter account, as well as detailed how the flight was delayed for 4 hours “because of this guy”.
She said that their flight was circled by fighter jets for “a good hour” until we landed, and she had initially thought there was someone important arriving until she realised that it was “us”.
She shared a photo of the alleged perpetrator and said that the guy was yelling at the back of the plane saying there was a bomb.
The photo that she shared, showed the man being handcuffed and led away by what appears to be police officers, from the aircraft.
She also shared a photo of the fighter jets beside her flight, as well as a pillow that SIA gave to all the passengers as a token of apology.
