Frontier Airlines has revealed the chilling bomb threat made by a passenger during an airport emergency on Sunday. The airline told the New York Post that Flight 2539 from Columbus, Ohio, was diverted to a remote area of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after a passenger allegedly claimed to have a bomb when the plane landed shortly after 5 p.m. The unidentified man, who police described as “unruly,” also threatened to kill the woman sitting next to him, according to air traffic control audio cited by 11Alive. Authorities responded as a precaution, and passengers were removed from the plane using stairs and buses. Police later said the threat was not credible. It was not immediately clear whether the man was arrested. The FBI is leading the investigation.
