A teenager caused a panic aboard a United flight set to depart San Francisco International Airport on Thursday when he sent a photo of an airsoft gun through AirDrop, prompting officials to remove all passengers.
The incident took place aboard United Airlines Flight 2167 bound for Orlando on Thursday.
As the plane was preparing to pull out of the gate, a teen passenger started sending photos of the toy weapon to others on board, KNTV-TV reported.
The teen used the AirDrop feature on the Apple iPhone, which allows owners of devices using either the iOS and macOS operating systems to share files if connected through a wireless internet feed or Bluetooth.
