A Turkish flight aborted takeoff yesterday after passengers started receiving photos of plane crashes on their phones.
AnadoluJet passengers got AirDrop requests, which is a pretty common prank to pull when you are in public with a bunch of strangers. The prank doesn't seem to threaten deadly terrorism most of the time. The aftermath of a crash in San Francisco that killed three people was shown in the photos. The passengers were not amused by the prank and panicked.
All passengers and luggage are being further examined, and the police and other security officials have opened an investigation, according to the airport spokesman.
There were 160 people on the plane. Several people were questioned by authorities according to a report. Passengers were told they could board the re-examined plane after several hours.
It's possible airport authorities could talk to the young people, re-examine the plane or find some other piece of evidence that leads them to believe a bomb threat really happened or was planned.
It is possible that the individuals are teenagers. Sometimes teenagers go too far with pranking people.
