Northwest Airlines Flight

The same Northwest Airlines Flight which faced problems on the Christmas Day, encountered similar trouble once again, making the crew members take the help of the emergency assistance. The problem arose due to a probable disruptive passenger who was arrested later on by the FBI. However, the entire incident was later on said to be a “Non-Serious Incident,” by the FBI.

The seized passenger from the flight is also an Nigerian National whose name wasn’t revealed publically by the US higher authorities. The passenger was later released by the FBI after the US Customs and the Border Police with the support of the FBI failed to find any concrete threatening materials from the luggage of the passenger. The passenger was tagged as “Not a Security risk” by the officials and was then released without any harm.

The crew members of the flight got highly concerned about the situation after it faced a much similar incidence on Friday, during the Christmas Eve. The flight faced a failed attempt of an Nigerian National to blow up the passenger flight and so, reacted severely to this situation. The passenger became sick and later locked himself into the bathroom for more than an hour, and this is what triggered the false alarm in the flight.

The incident created a scare in the passengers traveling frequently through the airlines and various others, waiting at the Detroit Airport. This was the second such incidence that occurred within a small time period of just 50 hours.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was the passenger on Friday, who tried to blow up the passenger airbus, but was however grabbed by the passengers and later by the crew. The similarity of the two cases was what created the havoc in the plane. Clearing the cloud from the case, the FBI said that the incidence was a completely, “non-serious and the suspect was not a security threat.”
