I believe that many people want to travel abroad by plane, but following 9 Israeli teenagers got on the plane recently, they used the AirDrop function of the iPhone to try to send photos to harass other passengers on the same plane. What is even more extreme is that the photos received by the passengers turned out to be photos of two serious air crashes, which made the passengers feel that the flight was subjected to terrorist attacks, and they were frightened for a period of time.
AirDrop to send plane crash photos
Foreign media reported that nine Israeli teenagers took a Boeing 737 flight from Tel Aviv, Israel to Istanbul, Turkey on May 10, with 160 passengers on board. After passengers boarded the planes one following another, some passengers received requests for photos from AirDrop, and what they received turned out to be multiple photos of the crash of Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 in 2009 and Asiana Airlines Flight 214 in 2013.
Passengers need emergency evacuation
According to the recount of the passengers on the plane, a flight attendant asked whether anyone had received the photos. A few minutes later, the passengers were asked to leave the cabin. The crew said that a safety accident occurred and everyone’s luggage must be unloaded for detailed review. At that time, the airport police were also called to the scene, and some passengers even fainted due to panic attacks.
3 years in prison if convicted
It was soon discovered following an initial investigation that it was a prank by nine Israeli teenagers, aged regarding 18, who were all taken away by police for questioning, delaying the flight for hours before re-departing. Police said the photos shared by the teens posed a threat to flight safety and might be charged with spreading false information and might face up to three years in prison if convicted.
