American Airlines Flight Forced To Return To Gate After Passenger Discovers “Al-Quida” WiFi Network
Adding to the rolls of poorly chosen hotspot names, ABC 7 reports that a passenger on last night’s flight saw the terrorist named WiFi connection and told a flight attendant after becoming concerned.
Passengers were then reportedly stuck on the plane for about three hours while authorities investigated, with some travelers saying they were at first told the delay was due to a maintenance problem.
American Airlines officials say the flight returned to the gate and was delayed until 1 p.m. Monday, according to ABC 7.
It said last night that it’s assessing the situation and law enforcement has been notified while police gather more information.
When in doubt, stick with WiFi names like “Fuzzy Socks Stink, Right” or “Keep Your Head Off My Shoulder, Please.”
