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.

Others pointed out that this was far too serious to be viewed as a joke or a prank.

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.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
