Vietnamese passenger fined for bomb joke on Malaysia Airlines flight to Hanoi
HANOI, June 25 — A Vietnamese male passenger has been fined for joking that he had a bomb in his carry-on luggage after landing at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi last Sunday, according to the Northern Airports Authority, Vietnam News reported. The passenger, who was on Malaysia Airlines flight MH752 from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi, was issued an administrative fine of VNĐ4 million (RM30). According to the authority, shortly after landing, a flight attendant standing at the aircraft door to bid farewell to passengers inquired about a black box the passenger was carrying. The passenger responded by saying it was a 'bomb.' The report said that the flight crew immediately alerted airport authorities, and the passenger was detained by immigration police at Noi Bai International Airport for questioning after disembarkation. An inspection of the rectangular black box revealed it contained a computer keyboard and a mouse, with no suspicious items or prohibited materials found. The passenger, identified as N.C.H., admitted the joke was inappropriate and stemmed from a lack of awareness. Written reports were filed, and a record of the incident was completed. The passenger, along with his belongings, was handed over to the Northern Airports Authority, Vietnam News added. A representative from the Emergency Command Unit at Noi Bai International Airport noted that the case was resolved more swiftly because the joke was made after landing. Had the comment been made before departure, it could have caused significant delays, requiring all passengers and baggage to undergo security re-screening, disrupting the flight schedule. Authorities reminded the public that aviation security and safety are top priorities, and even jokes about bombs, firearms, or terrorism trigger immediate emergency responses. Passengers making such remarks risk fines, potential flight bans, and being held responsible for damages caused.

Trump offers Emmanuel Macron marriage advice after slap by wife Brigitte
WASHINGTON — President Trump offered up a tip for France's first family to preserve domestic tranquility after his Paris counterpart Emmanuel Macron was publicly slapped by his wife Brigitte on a foreign trip earlier this week. 'Make sure the door remains closed,' Trump chuckled in the Oval Office while responding to a question about the stunning video of Madame Macron's assault as the couple prepared to disembark in Vietnam Sunday night. 'That was not good,' Trump said of the video. 'No, I spoke to him and he's fine, they're fine. They're two really good people. I know them very well. And, I don't know what that was all about but I know him very well and they're fine.' 3 President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference with Elon Musk in the Oval Office of the White House, Friday, May 30, 2025. AP 3 France's President Emmanuel Macron was pushed in the face by his wife Brigitte Macron as the couple arrived in Vietnam to begin a tour of Southeast Asia, at Noi Bai International Airport, in Hanoi, Vietnam, May 25, 2025. REUTERS The family drama was caught on camera through the open door of the French president's official plane and left Macron staggered before he recovered himself and belatedly waved to watching reporters. Brigitte didn't take her husband's arm when they walked down the stairs of the plane — and a lip reader told the UK's Daily Express newspaper that she appeared to hiss 'Dégage, espèce de loser' — or in English: 'Stay away, you loser.' 3 France's President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron tour the 'Two Rivers' exhibition held on Anderson Bridge in Singapore on May 29, 2025. POOL/AFP via Getty Images 'We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,' Macron said Monday about the incident, before adding: 'People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down.' Brigitte, 72, is 25 years older than the French president. The two began dating when Emmanuel Macron was just 15 and a student of the drama and literature teacher, who was a married mother of three. Trump and Macron have had a notably jovial relationship since the Frenchman took office in 2017. The Macrons were the US president's guests of honor at his first state dinner in 2018, with the two men even exchanging the traditional French 'bise' on both cheeks. In subsequent years, Trump has needled Macron with hard handshakes that threaten to devolve into personal games of tug-of-war.

Create Account Footage showed the 72-year-old put both hands on her husband's face before shoving him mere moments after the president's plane door opened upon arrival in Hanoi, Vietnam on Sunday. Macron, 47, looked shocked but managed to laugh it off before the pair descended the plane's staircase. He later told press that he and his wife were 'squabbling' in a 'joking way' — but a professional lip reader reported otherwise. 'As the aircraft door opens, President Macron is seen turning toward Brigitte. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face,' a lip reader recounted to the Express . Once the leader noticed the cameras directed at them, he said 'Hi,' then raised his hand in a wave. 'Emmanuel then steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crossing to the other side,' the lip reader continued. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again,' the lip reader detailed. 'He offers his arm; she ignores it, choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes, she appears to mutter, 'Dégage, espèce de loser,' translated in English, 'Stay away, you loser.'' Macron tries again, according to the lip reader, who said Emmanuel asked his wife, 'Essayons, s'il te plait?' which translates to 'Let's try, please?' But Brigitte won't budge and responded with a terse 'non.' The lip reader added: 'His closing expression, and the phrase lip-read as 'Je vois,' translated in English, 'I see' says it all.'

They described it as 'a rare unguarded exchange that hints at deeper tensions between the couple,' noting it's 'one to watch, especially with a packed diplomatic schedule ahead.' The lip reader's claims appear accurate as Macron looks startled when he sees the cameras, before he quickly recovers. Brigitte is also seen not taking her husband's arm when making her way down the steps, where Vietnamese officials await them. Read More Emmanuel and Brigitte have been married since 2007, having first met when he was a 15-year-old student and she was his 39-year-old drama teacher. The president has since tried to downplay the incident as horseplay. 'We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,' Macron said, adding that the fallout from their arrival in Vietnam was being overblown into 'a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe.' He added: 'People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down.' Toronto & GTA Canada Canada Tennis Music
