TikToker Kendra Noel Moore had just boarded her flight from Austin, Texas, to Charlotte, North Carolina, when she noticed an "insane" wi-fi hotspot name alleging a bomb threat.

American Airlines passenger and TikToker Kendra Noel Moore spoke up about what it was like to be a passenger involved in a potential bomb threat, and it's clear the impact was lasting.

According to Moore, news had already been circulating about the threat, but when the information was incomplete at best, Moore decided to share her story of noticing a potential threat and reporting it.


The incident developed shortly after Moore boarded with her service dog, Bagel. She settled into her seat alongside two male passengers, and she went to connect to her hotspot so that she could finish her work before the flight.

But when she went to connect her hotspot, she noticed that another hotspot nearby was listed, and it was labeled, "Bomb on Flight AA2863."

Moore stated that she "froze," noting that this was her flight number. After she shared what she saw with her two seatmates, the three of them decided to report the incident.

Though the flight was supposed to leave at 1:42 PM, it did not leave until after 6:30 PM after multiple different security checks were conducted by the airline security.

Many people selected to switch to a different flight, as the offender was not identified, and it was not officially confirmed if this was a genuine threat or a sick joke.

One TikToker pointed out that this was a "huge waste of resources" and shamed the person who did it.

Moore responded to the comment, confiding that she worried about wasting resources by reporting what could've just been a "sick joke."

But fellow TikTokers, including the one who commented about the "huge waste of resources," reassured her.

It's unsettling to imagine that a person might not report an incident like this, but it's understandable that they would be stressed about ruining everyone's flight plans over what might be a terrible prank.

Fortunately, Moore did the right thing and made it home safely alongside her fellow passengers—and, hopefully, the offender will still be identified and face the consequences.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
