Malaysia Airlines Passenger Fined RM650 For Making Bomb Joke After Landing In Hanoi
If there's one thing you should never joke about on a flight, or even at the airport, for that matter, it's a bomb threat. Security will take it seriously, and for good reason. A couple of years ago, a Malaysia Airlines flight was forced to turn back after a passenger became aggressive and made an alleged bomb threat while in the air. Thankfully, he was arrested for his actions and passengers were reportedly compensated by being transferred to the next available flight. Unfortunately, another Malaysia Airlines passenger has made headlines for thinking it was a good idea to joke about carrying explosives during a recent flight to Hanoi. Here's what happened: The Vietnamese man boarded Malaysia Airlines flight MH752 from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi. Shortly after landing, while a flight attendant was bidding farewell to passengers disembarking the aircraft, she asked the man about the long black carry-on bag he was carrying. In response, he joked that it was a bomb, prompting an immediate emergency response. The flight attendant alerted security at Noi Bai International Airport, and the passenger was swiftly detained by immigration officers for questioning by multiple agencies, including Malaysia Airlines representatives, emergency command centre officers, and Vietnam Airport Ground Services staff. Naturally, the bag was thoroughly inspected, revealing nothing more than a computer keyboard and a mouse. The passenger admitted that the bomb remark was intended as a joke, claiming he was unaware of the seriousness of making such comments. Earlier this week, Noi Bai International Airport issued a statement confirming that the passenger had been issued an administrative fine of VNĐ4 million (approximately RM650). 'Had the joke been made by a departing passenger, the entire process would have been far more complicated,' the Emergency Command Unit told reporters. Thankfully, the bomb threat turned out to be an ill-judged joke. However, let this serve as a reminder that making jokes about weapons or explosives in airports or on aircraft is strictly prohibited. Such remarks can trigger immediate security responses and cause unnecessary panic among staff and passengers. Sources: TheStar, NST, Facebook What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

Vietnamese passenger on flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi fined for bomb joke at Noi Bai airport
The passenger's carry-on bag contained a computer keyboard and mouse, and no suspicious content or prohibited items were found. — Noi Bai International Airport authoriteis HANOI: A Vietnamese male passenger was fined for joking that he had a bomb in his carry-on luggage after landing at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi last Sunday (June 22), according to the Northern Airports Authority on Monday. The passenger, who was on Malaysia Airlines flight MH752 from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi on June 22, was issued an administrative fine of VNĐ4 million (US$157). According to the authority, shortly after landing, as the flight attendant stood at the aircraft door to bid farewell to passengers, she inquired about a black box carried by the passenger. The passenger responded by saying it was a 'bomb'. The flight crew immediately reported the incident to the relevant airport authorities. Upon disembarkation, the passenger was detained by the immigration police at Noi Bai International Airport for questioning. An inspection of the rectangular black box revealed that it contained a computer keyboard and a mouse. No suspicious items or prohibited materials were found. The passenger, identified as N.C.H, admitted that his inappropriate joke stemmed from a lack of awareness. All relevant parties provided written reports and completed a record of the incident. The passenger, along with his luggage and belongings, was handed over to the Northern Airports Authority. According to a representative of the Emergency Command Unit at Noi Bai International Airport, this case involved a joke made after the aircraft had landed, which allowed for quicker verification and resolution. Had the joke been made by a departing passenger, the entire process would have been far more complicated. The flight could have been delayed while all passengers and baggage underwent security re-screening, disrupting the flight schedule and overall terminal operations. Aviation security and safety are always top priorities for aviation authorities. Even a single joke can have serious consequences, affecting hundreds of passengers and forcing the offender to pay a heavy price in terms of time, money, inconvenience, and even a potential flight ban. In any situation, whether a threat is real or false, the aviation sector treats it seriously. Any mention of bombs, firearms, weapons, or terrorism triggers an immediate emergency response involving the flight crew, airport security, and immigration police. All procedures are carried out thoroughly and precisely to ensure absolute safety, which can cause delays and incur significant additional costs. Anyone who spreads false information about bombs or weapons can incite panic, disrupt public order, and must take full responsibility. In addition to administrative penalties, they may also be liable for compensation if damages are caused. Authorities strongly advise passengers not to make jokes about bombs, terrorism, or weapons anywhere within the airport or on board aircraft. They are also reminded not to carry or pack replica weapons or explosive devices in their luggage. Passengers should fully cooperate with airport staff during screening and interviews, and remind companions, especially children, never to joke about such sensitive matters. — Vietnam News/ANN
