In-flight Chaos: Bomb Threat, Unruly Passenger, and Emergency Landing
TL;DR
A Malaysia Airlines flight from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur was diverted back to Sydney due to an unruly passenger who repeatedly claimed to be a "slave of Allah" and insisted that others proclaim the same. The incident caused a major security scare at Sydney Airport, resulting in the cancellation of 32 domestic flights and delays of up to 90 minutes. The crew did a commendable job handling the situation, but there are concerns about how the airport handled the operational disruptions caused by the incident.
