JUST IN: Bomb Threat Reported on JetBlue Flight from Boston to Florida


This afternoon, a bomb threat was reported on a JetBlue flight from Boston, Massachusetts to Vero Beach, Florida.

Passengers were held on the tarmac for nearly three hours as federal agents investigated the threat.

Here’s some footage from the scene:

Thankfully, the bomb threat was eventually found not to be credible.

It does not appear that any suspects were detained.

Boston 25 News has more:

Massachusetts State Police said that on Saturday morning, they were alerted by MassPort officials that they had recieved a phone call from an unidentified person who reported that there was a bomb onboard the flight.

Customers sat on the tarmac for almost three hours as authorities investigated the threat.

“Troopers assigned to Logan Airport, the Anti-Terrorism Unit, and the Commonwealth Fusion Center worked with our partners in Florida to confirm that the report was NOT credible,” a spokesperson for the Massachusetts State Police said.

Law enforcement in Florida apologized to customers on the plane and explained to them that although the threat was not “viable,” they still had to go through the necessary precautions.

In a statement, a spokesperson for JetBlue said the flight from Boston to Vero Beach “taxied to a remote area after landing as a result of a possible security threat.”

Ever since the beginning of the conflict in Iran, it seems like we’ve been reporting on a similar threat nearly every day.

Keep in mind that the TSA is still shut down due to Democrats refusing to fund the DHS.

Even though this JetBlue bomb threat ultimately turned out to be nothing, the recent uptick in these kinds of threats is scary…

Stay safe, everyone.
