A terrifying mid-air ordeal unfolded Sunday aboard easyJet flight 609, which was forced to make an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport after a man threatened to bomb the aircraft and made violent threats against President Donald Trump.

The incident occurred just an hour away from Trump’s visit to his Turnberry golf course in Scotland. According to reports and dramatic footage captured on board, the 41-year-old male passenger began shouting “Allahu Akbar!” and declared, “I’m going to bomb the plane! Death to America! Death to Trump!” before being heroically tackled by fellow passengers.

Witnesses said the man also claimed he had a bomb and was trying to “send a message” to the U.S. president. “It was absolutely terrifying. People were screaming, but some brave passengers didn’t hesitate — they took him down fast,” one traveler told reporters.

The plane was diverted safely, and authorities quickly secured the aircraft upon landing. The suspect was taken into custody by Scottish counterterrorism officials, and no explosives were found aboard the plane.

The incident comes amid heightened security across the UK due to President Trump’s ongoing international visits, with British and U.S. officials working closely to ensure his safety.

Law enforcement officials say the investigation is ongoing, with possible terror-related charges pending. EasyJet has issued a statement praising passengers and crew for their swift response and confirming that no injuries were reported.
