The plane and all luggage in the hold was thoroughly searched and passengers were also searched in accordance with "Order 9" of the airport's emergency procedures. EOD bomb disposal units were deployed.

What a tosser, sounds like another drunkard quality tourist. But it will cost him dear, perhaps enough to stop his habits....

[steven100]

I'll bet he pleads he was only joking  ....

"Daily News reported that Bangkok Airways were preparing a case for compensation against the man.",

regards worgeordie

[Thaiwrath]

And who said Scandinavians didn't have a sense of humour 

[kartman]

His defence will be last throws of constipation and awaiting toilet all clear

Those crazy Swede's huh.

Some years back there was a rash of plane hijackings to Cuba.

One passenger in business class asked  the flight attendant if she had any good cigars.

She said No, and his joking reply was, :"that's o.k., I'll  just pick some good cigars when we are in Havana".

Security wasn't amused.

He was grabbed, and taken off the plane.

They take such comments seriously.

That is a true story.

 

[KhunBENQ]

Just think about the other direction, many missing their connections due to this moron.

He should be locked up until compensation is done.

Then expelled and blacklisted.

 

Don't serve full strength alcohol to Swedes.

I have experience on baltic sea ferries

40 minutes to do all that? I most seriously doubt that one.

Your exactly right. The new world caters to the minority who cause problems instead of making an example of them letting the average bloke get on with his way of life unchanged.

[Prbkk]

No....his mate said: " we should have a smoke when we get there" and the Swede ansewered, slightly too loudly "Ok, I've got a bong"

[tukkytuktuk]

Last month in Stockholm there was a bomb hoax phoned in and a Thai airways plane searched. This caused a very long delay.

[sandrabbit]

Was the plane taxying or just parked on the apron at the gate when he shouted?. I see in a few countries they offer you the fuel bill for the diversion or prison and I'd imagine paying for an A380 or even 777 would be 20K to 30K dollars. He'll probably be blacklisted and have to beg to get a seat back to Sweden.

[tomwct]

He's a Swede! They pride in themselves as not being a member of NATO, so he was checking to see if anyone else had a real bomb, in case one was needed while he was on holiday. I would guess that check will costs him 10 years cut in half to five years. I would assume

Immigration will Blacklist him for Life! I would then deport him to North Korea via China!

Won't their be two consequences? The Thai police will want to prosecute for his criminal behavior. Likely big fine and possibly some actual jail time. And then Bangkok Airways will file a civil suit for damages. Likely get some serious money. 

 

He could be in the poop big time - deservedly so. Maybe he'll try the sorry, I was pissed up defense that works well here for locals?

[soalbundy]

If he had said ''I've got a BMW'' nobody would have taken any notice.

They then searched the plane and did all those other things and the the emergency was declared over at 5.50 pm and the plane left at 6.30 pm. The search etc lasted from 1.45 pm to 5.50 pm some 4 hours.
