A university student was detained on Sunday after he shared a video feed aboard a Turkish Airlines plane en route to the city of İzmir from Istanbul with the caption, "suicide bomber aboard."
The video showed a female flight attendant, and the student, identified as R.A., was detained after the plane, which landed at the time of the video feed, was diverted to a secured area at the airport in İzmir.
No bomb was found aboard, while the student said he simply wanted to joke about the beauty of the flight attendant with his remark in Turkish that also roughly means "bombshell" in reference to an attractive woman.
