One passenger on board a plane thought he saw a cell phone being charged inside the airplane bathroom and mistook it as a bomb. The plane was headed for America, and it had to make an emergency landing in Dublin, Ireland.

Officers quickly boarded the plane to investigate the "bomb" and what they found was a cell phone instead, wrapepd in its own chraging cable, and plugged into an electric outlet inside the bathroom.

The Boeing 767 had originated from Instanbul, Turkey with 208 passengers on board. The phone was presumably returned to its rightful owner who probably had to deal with a lot of embarrassment.

But the sillier person? Was the phone who thought that the charging cellphone was a bomb. But I suppose you can never be too careful of these things.
