A nan told of the moment her 10-year-old granddaughter burst into tears as passengers speculated "there could be a bomb onboard" after a man got on their Ryanair flight without a ticket.
Barbara Watson had been to Majorca with her family and was flying from Palma to Manchester Airport on Thursday afternoon (August 4). The 64-year-old told the Manchester Evening News that a man from the previous flight had managed to sneak onto their plane.
"The flight that came in, everyone got off board and one person stayed on the bridge and was hiding," she said. "When we all got onto the bridge, he mingled around with us and got back on board. The stewardesses told us that he was hiding on board of view of them waiting to see which seat was free. He sat in the seat, we got on the runway and the pilot stopped the flight and told us we'd have to go back to the gate as the numbers weren't adding up.
