Malaysian plane forced to return to Melbourne after bomb threat

According to Australian police,the Kuala Lumpur bound flight MH128 left Melbourne at about 11:11 pm on Wednesday and was forced to turn back after a passenger threatened other passengers on board.

''It is alleged that a man tried to enter the cockpit and threatened the safety of passengers and staffs but he did not gain entry to the cockpit and was subdued.''

Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister,Abdul Aziz Kaprawi however said that the passenger was drunk and wasn't with any bomb but rather a powerbank.

''It's not a hijack,one disruptive passenger tried to enter the plane's cockpit.The passenger claimed to have a bomb,but it was not a bomb but a powerbank.

''Everyone on board is safe.He was taken out of the plane handcuffed by Australian security officers.''

Passengers on board the plane were however scared and traumatized,most feared for their lives when the man threatened to blow up the plane.

''The staff were saying,'Sit back down sir,sit back down sir',he goes,'No i am not going to sit back down,i am going to blow the plane up'

''The staff screamed out,'i need some help,i need some help'.So,i jumped up,undid my buckle and approached him.''

The passenger continued by saying,the alleged attacker ran to the back of the plane where he was overpowered by two other men and was disarmed of a 'giant black thing'.

Malaysian Airlines has however said the passengers would be checked into hotels while preparations for another flight will be made available.
