Hundreds of passengers were forced to get off a Norwegian Airlines flight soon after boarding at a Florida airport when a passenger made a comment about a bomb because he was unhappy with his seat. 

The incident occurred at Orlando International Airport on Sunday night.

Police were called to the gate just as the London-bound plane was preparing to close its doors.

Hundreds of passengers were forced to get off a Norwegian Airlines flight on Sunday night at Orlando International Airport after a passenger made a comment about a bomb.

The male passenger was upset about his seating arrangements and had made the comment about a bomb that was overheard by other passengers, according to police.

The 333 passengers and 12 crew members on board were forced to deplane as officers investigated.  

Nothing suspicious was found and the airplane eventually took off almost three hours later.

Police officers questioned the man and turned the investigation over to the FBI.

A police spokesman said on Monday that he didn’t know if the man who made the comment was allowed to re-board the plane.
