'There's a BOMB on this plane!' Moment screaming unruly passenger was forcibly removed from Spirit Airlines flight

A man was forcibly removed from a Spirit Airlines flight on Friday after he began screaming there was a bomb on the plane and that he was going to blow it up.

The incident happened on board a flight that had landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Georgia, after flying from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The pilot had alerted police to meet the plane at the gate after the passenger had had outbursts throughout the entire flight and had started throwing items at fellow passengers.


The man refused to get up when two Atlanta police officers approached him after the plane had landed.
When the female officer leaned in to get him out of his seat he started screaming, ‘There's a bomb on the plane! If she takes me off, I'll blow the f****** plane up'.
Another passenger recorded the incident and posted the video on YouTube, according to WSBTV, which shows how the rest of the plane’s passengers remained calm throughout the whole ordeal.

 

The man was finally removed from the plane.Police concluded he was mentally ill or having some psychotic breakdown. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
The pilot addressed the plane afterwards saying, ‘Folks, it will just be a few more minutes, please remain seated. We'll let you know. I appreciate everyone's cooperation.
'I want to sincerely apologize to everyone on board that airplane today for that,’ said the pilot, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
