A Twitter user who claimed to be from the terrorist group ISIS has caused chaos after a threat tweet that reads "AmericanAir No, There is a bomb on flight 1192, We are ISIS, we will (expletive) you guys up, #ISIS"
The airline, flight 1192, from Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Chicago O'Hare following a bomb threat. The social media, Twitter, recently suspended a user with twitter handle @RansomTheThug after the user posted that there was a bomb on board United Airlines with flight number 223. The flight was thoroughly searched but nothing harmful was detected.
The development has been a season of bomb threat to the American airlines following another threat which was directed to JetBlue flight from Boston to Palm Beach. The airline preparing to take off was returned to the gate to be searched by detectives but nothing hazardous was found. On Saturday in Atlanta, two flights in air were escorted by military jet fighter F-16 after another bomb threat via Twitter.
Investigation has started by agencies in charge of airline securities to track down the source(s) and whoever is behind the threat. Last year, a bomb threat of such was traced down to a 14year old Dutch girl after she posted on Twitter page with Twitter handle @QueenDemetriax. She posted, "@AmericanAir hello my name is Ibrahim and I'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I'm gonna do something really big" The 14year old was charged with "posting a false announcement"
The agencies in charge are set out to discover if the threats were from individual who post false announcement or it is beyond just a threat.
