Email says bomb stowed in bag that’s in the cargo of an Air India flight, RAF scrambles to action, high drama with the flight being diverted to Stansted. Where’s the bag? In Mumbai since most of the check-in luggage had been left behind. #HeartIsFull https://t.co/PWWp3fTdHt

Another user wrote, “Air India gets a bomb threat. Email says bomb in bags. It took a hard right turn. All hell broke loose. But here comes the funniest part, Air India left most of the check-in luggage behind Mumbai since the flight was overbooked.”
@neobluepanther’s reaction hit us right in the feels, “How the best laid plans can go awry!”
AI flight scheduled to leave Mumbai early morning on Thursday to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersy, US.
The threatening hoax email said, “For Air India flight, a nitrogen-free powerful explosive device has been placed in the flights baggage, which will explode in the air. These flights will suffer a plane crash.”
The flight from Mumbai to Newark wasn’t the only flight to receive the hoax email. Flights from Mumbai to Munich and Mumbai to Zurich got the hoax email too.
But when the authorities saw the email, the plane had already landed.
