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 Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.
