  According to the thead they squawked 7700 so this wasn’t just a “fuck it we’re going back” this was a full blown “we’re declaring emergency, roll all the shit.” I wonder if there’s Bluetooth interference or if they’re suspicious of something else.

    > I wonder if there’s Bluetooth interference This would be both extremely unlikely, and absolutely impossible for the crew to diagnose in flight.

    It was a Bluetooth speaker named "bomb" in the cargo. Really stupid shit on the part of whichever passenger owned it. Even in general, you don't just leave devices powered on in your luggage, but especially not if they are called "bomb".

      Well, the passenger was reportedly a 16 year old. They are not generally known for being the most intelligent.

          How do you know everyone else wasn't just dumb instead? I know I feel that way sometimes.
