TikToker Kendra Noel Moore had just boarded her flight from Austin, Texas, to Charlotte, North Carolina, when she noticed an "insane" wi-fi hotspot name alleging a bomb threat.

American Airlines passenger and TikToker Kendra Noel Moore spoke up about what it was like to be a passenger involved in a potential bomb threat, and it's clear the impact was lasting.

According to Moore, news had already been circulating about the threat, but when the information was incomplete at best, Moore decided to share her story of noticing a potential threat and reporting it.


The incident developed shortly after Moore boarded with her service dog, Bagel. She settled into her seat alongside two male passengers, and she went to connect to her hotspot so that she could finish her work before the flight.

But when she went to connect her hotspot, she noticed that another hotspot nearby was listed, and it was labeled, "Bomb on Flight AA2863."

Moore stated that she "froze," noting that this was her flight number. After she shared what she saw with her two seatmates, the three of them decided to report the incident.

Though the flight was supposed to leave at 1:42 PM, it did not leave until after 6:30 PM after multiple different security checks were conducted by the airline security.

Many people selected to switch to a different flight, as the offender was not identified, and it was not officially confirmed if this was a genuine threat or a sick joke.

Others pointed out that this was far too serious to be viewed as a joke or a prank.

One TikToker pointed out that this was a "huge waste of resources" and shamed the person who did it.

Moore responded to the comment, confiding that she worried about wasting resources by reporting what could've just been a "sick joke."

But fellow TikTokers, including the one who commented about the "huge waste of resources," reassured her.

It's unsettling to imagine that a person might not report an incident like this, but it's understandable that they would be stressed about ruining everyone's flight plans over what might be a terrible prank.

Fortunately, Moore did the right thing and made it home safely alongside her fellow passengers—and, hopefully, the offender will still be identified and face the consequences.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
