The passengers on the flight Virgin America 358 have failed to have the right to a landing in an emergency. This is Lucas Wojciechowski, a traveller of the flight, which connected San Francisco to Boston on Tuesday 20 December, which has noticed that something was wrong aboard. Turning on his laptop to connect to the wifi network of the aircraft, another wifi network called “Samsung Galaxy Note 7_1097″ has been proposed. Since several incidents involving Galaxy Note 7 has caught fire, the model of the brand for Korean, however, is prohibited in aircraft flying over the United States.

The young man has so notified the crew. After an hour of flight, in the middle of the night a call requested to the owner of the Galaxy Note 7 on board to make themselves known, without any reaction of the passengers. A few minutes later the captain took the word. “This is not a joke, we’ll turn back on the lights and search everyone until we find him “, he said. “The aircraft will need to be re-routed, and then searched if anyone does” he added a few minutes later on a tone more threatening.

Lucas Wojciechowski tells the story on his Twitter account that a person is finally made known to the crew, explaining that he had not the Galaxy Note 7, but that the name of the wifi hotspot from his phone had been modified and that it was the owner of the device issuing the famous network wifi ” Samsung Galaxy Note 7_1097 “.

Shortly after a crew member took the floor to announce that the device in question had been found and that by chance it was not a Galaxy Note 7. Several internet sites have reported the story referring to a joke in bad taste. On Twitter in response to tweets from Lucas Wojciechowski,a user, however, has explained that after going to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Samsung S7, the hotspot of the phone continued to display the ” Samsung Galaxy Note 7 “, this could explain the misunderstanding to board the plane. A theory supported by Lucas Wojciechowski itself.

Asked spoke to the BBC, the young man explained that Virgin didn’t seem to want to bring this case to justice despite the delay by the aircraft that had already taken the road of Wyoming to ask. The company has in any case refused to tell the site The Register its intention or not to bring a complaint.
