BOMB THREAT onboard United Flight | Message Written in the Lavatory!

"Are you gonna need any emergency assistance on the ground?" "I hope not" Never a truer word was spoken.

"Well, I hope not." Most underrated statement of the week

ATC: Fuel in minutes? PIC: (zero hesitation) 134 minutes ATC: (damn. that was fast) In Pounds? PIC: (even faster) 13,400 pounds. ATC: (he's good. dare I ask for it in hogsheads?...)

I love the honesty of the pilot when asked if he's going to need emergency assistance on the ground "I hope not"

A former WGN radio show producer on this flight called into the station and was interviewed on the air by her old boss. She said the plane wound up in a remote part of O'Hare where everyone deplaned, then directed to sit on an adjacent grassy area for a few hours. In that time, passengers began looking at each other, wondering which one wrote the message, as if this were a game of Clue.

Somebody forgot their phone at O'Hare.

The pilot seems incredibly chipper about the entire thing! This clearly isn't his first rodeo.

I am guessing that everyone on the plane gets to talk to the FBI, and gets a thorough search.......

The one thing I love about United - they still offer the cockpit ATC channel to passengers, through both the old skool armrest tuners in older planes AND through the newer video screens. This exchange would have been simultaneously exciting and absolutely terrifying, riveting stuff! I kinda wish I was onboard to hear it in realtime. Actually, that makes me wonder: in the event of an emergency on a United flight, would I actually hear the entire exchange, or is there some mechanism to mute the ATC channel at the pilots' discretion and/or when squawking 7700?

People doing these kinds of "jokes" are freaking brainless. They make hundreds of people be late to their destination , somebody onboard could have a heart attack when they're briefed about the reason of the return and obviously they will probably get banned for life to fly with that company and maybe even face some prosecution.

"Maintain your best speed forward" "Forward, you say?"

My man just needed to keep the lavatory open during the flight so he could drop his bomb and it got completely misconstrued...

"best speed forward" thank you i almost put it in reverse XD

Someone has got to come up with a standard of fuel in time vs fuel in pounds. For my sanity, if nothing else.

ATC: “Say people on board “ PIC: “136 souls and one soulless “

Fuel in minute pounds per square yard please

Was ATC giving a quiz? Fuel in minutes? Ok, now, in pounds?

While we’re on the subject, check out BA158 BDA-LHR last night on the 5th

100 pound per minute

Are you going to cover the bomb threats that happened at Bermuda, Victor?
