💨 Abstract

An American Airlines flight from San Juan to Dallas was diverted after a passenger saw a seatmate receive a text message saying "R.I.P." The passenger interpreted it as a threat, leading the plane to return to the airport. Law enforcement investigated and found the message was about the seatmate's deceased relative, not a threat. The plane was cleared and resumed its journey. The incident highlights the importance of safety protocols, even if they sometimes lead to false alarms.
