Flight attendant allegedly called in a bomb threat on ex's Miami-bound flight
A flight attendant has been arrested and charged after she allegedly made a bomb threat to stop her ex-boyfriend and his new lover from going on a trip to Miami.
The incident occurred on May 21 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, reports La Nación.
Aerolíneas Argentinas flight attendant Daniela Carbone, 47, allegedly used her daughter’s phone using voice distortion software to conceal her identity.
According to investigators, Carbone sent a message to the pilot of flight AR1304, stating, “Tell the captain that we planted three bombs on him in Miami. Stop messing with politics and check the plane because they are going to fly into a thousand pieces.”
In addition, Carbone reportedly also threatened the pilot, telling him that she knew where his daughters attended school. Passengers were soon evacuated.
University professor Ignacio González Prieto tweeted that Carbone was fired by the airline.
