BANGKOK — The captain of a Thai Lion Air flight scheduled to leave Bangkok’s Don Mueang airport this afternoon (Nov 1) grounded the plane after a passenger reportedly joked about a bomb hidden in a case.
Police Colonel Durachet Bandit, chief of Don Muang Police Station, told Daily News Online, the incident occurred at 2.30pm when an air hostess was helping passengers to place their luggage in the overhead lockers.
