An alarm set by a man for Ramadan prayers went off on board a plane flying from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale. Flight attendants mistook the alarm for an explosive device and panicked.
Passengers were asked to lower their heads and raise their hands, and the plane made an emergency landing in Atlanta. SWAT officers armed with automatic weapons stormed the plane. After determining it was a false alarm, the officers released the passengers.
