United Airlines flight evacuated after fake gun photo sent to passengers
A flight preparing for takeoff on the runway was suddenly turned back to the gate after a text containing a picture of a handgun was circulated to a number of passengers on board
United Airlines Flight 2167 from San Francisco to Orlando was preparing to take off on July 22 when some travellers allegedly received a photo of a toy gun according to NBC.
They claimed it appeared to be a realistic-looking airsoft gun.
The picture had been sent via Airdrop, a service that allows people to transfer content wirelessly between Apple devices.
It prompted officials to evacuate passengers from the plane, with the passengers screened again and the plane inspected.
Doug Yakel, a spokesperson for San Francisco Airport said passengers were evacuated “out of an abundance of caution”.
The teenager at the centre of the prank was kicked off the flight after being identified
Officials determined the boy did not have the toy gun on him and the photo was taken earlier on another date outside the airport.
A United Airlines spokesperson said law enforcement is investigating the matter.
The flight was delayed due to a security issue involving a customer on board.

As LinkedIn withdraws from the Chinese market, young professionals and job seekers are turning to an unlikely platform in their quest for employment: Tinder.
This shift comes as a local news outlet recently reported the departure of LinkedIn from China.
Tinder, primarily known as a dating app, is now being repurposed by Chinese youth as a job-searching tool. Users are leveraging the platform’s network and communication features to connect with potential employers and explore career opportunities.
It appears to be a creative adaptation to fill the void left by LinkedIn, a platform renowned for professional networking.
This unconventional job-hunting trend has gained momentum, showcasing the adaptability and resourcefulness of the younger generation in China when faced with unexpected circumstances.
LinkedIn plans to maintain a certain level of presence in China, focusing on offering services to companies operating within the country. These services will facilitate hiring and training of employees based outside of China, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the company.
