## Key points

- Gaming chat triggered a bomb scare at Ontario airport.
- A plane and part of Terminal 2 were evacuated.
- No explosives were found, and the passenger was released.

## Summary

A passenger’s Call of Duty conversation prompted a bomb scare and the evacuation of a Frontier Airlines plane at California’s Ontario International Airport. The incident shows how overheard gaming chat in a heavily secured public place can be mistaken for a real threat.

A passenger reported hearing the words “bomb” and “explosion” while another traveller was on FaceTime with a friend playing the game. The aircraft and Terminal 2’s east wing were evacuated and checked; no explosives were found. The gamer was detained and questioned, then released without charges, and the flight departed later that night.
