A Wi-Fi network with the name “bomb on board” caused a Turkish Airlines flight to make an emergency landing after passengers became alarmed, Reuters reported Thursday.

The flight was on its way to Nairobi from its departure city of Istanbul when the suspiciously titled Wi-Fi network was detected. The flight then had to make an emergency stop at Sudan’s Khartoum airport. The airplane and all of its passengers were then thoroughly inspected by security. After nothing harmful was detected, all 100 passengers boarded the plane again and the flight carried on safely.
