The Galaxy Note 7 is already officially considered a fire hazard and, therefore, had its use is prohibited in airplanes in various parts of the planet. In the United States, this prohibition has resulted in an unusual situation in the last week when some wag decided to create a Wi-Fi hotspot in full flight and give it the name "Galaxy Note 7_1097".
The aircraft of the airline Virgin went out of the city of San Francisco, California, bound for Boston, on the other side of the country. The flight, however, could have been stopped, and the passengers are forced to disembark in Wyoming, far away from its original destination, to investigate.
One of the passengers of the flight, Luke Wojciechowski reported the incident on his Twitter account. He has published the image of his notebook, that he had found the Wi-Fi network with the name of the mobile phone of the Samsung one hour after the beginning of the flight. Soon other people also realized, and the case received the attention of the crew.
"If someone has a Galaxy Note 7, please press the button to call an attendant", said the first warning. After 15 minutes, a new warning: "this is not a joke. We’ll turn on the lights and rummage through the luggage of all the passengers until we find", said the second alert.
After a third warning, the captain announced that the flight would be diverted to the search if no one confesses. "I don’t know if you already had a flight diverted at 3 in the morning… let me tell you: it is terrible. There is nothing open in the terminal. Nothing." It was only then that the wag took on the responsibility of the hoax. "Ladies and gentlemen, we found the device. Fortunately, only the name of the instrument was changed to 'the Galaxy Note 7. It was not a GN7".
The joke has made the flight to arrive late to your destination and mess up the flight schedules of the entire day, disrupting the lives of people who even were on the plane.
