A JetBlue flight from Las Vegas was evacuated on the tarmac in Los Angeles on Thursday after a disgruntled passenger allegedly made a bomb threat.
The incident unfolded around 2 p.m. after the passenger, upset that he missed the flight, said his luggage was aboard the aircraft and it "contained a possible bomb," KTLA reported.
Las Vegas police "took enforcement action" on the man who made the threat and informed law enforcement in Los Angeles, according to KTLA.
Once the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, it was moved to a secure location and all passengers and crew members were evacuated and transported back to the terminal on shuttle buses.
Reports from the scene indicated there was approximately 70 people on the flight.
LAX officers inspected the aircraft as well as the luggage and around 4:40 p.m., determined there was no threat and issued the "all clear," KCAL reported.
It's not clear what charges the disgruntled passenger may be facing.
