You would think now isn’t the best time to tweet joke bomb threats to airlines – but apparently not.

Following the reported arrest of a Dutch teenager who made a ‘joke’ terrorist threat to American Airlines, dozens have now followed suit with comments of their own.

While some swiftly deleted their remarks, others have left the tweets. It is unclear whether the airline will take action on the new threats.

Some quickly back-tracked on their remarks…

However, clarifying the supposed jokey nature of the threat wasn’t enough for the Dutch teenager, who apologised after being told her details had been forwarded on to the FBI.



She also said she had ‘always wanted to be famous, but I meant Demi Lovato famous, not Osama bin Laden famous.’

Her Twitter account was later suspended.
