On Sunday night in Prague, Czech Republic, 183 people on a flight arriving from Manchester, United Kingdom were evacuated after, reportedly, discovery in the aircraft's toilets of a picture of a bomb.

The Czech foreign ministry's spokesperson said a painting of a bomb had been found in the plane's toilet by a flight attendant. According to the spokesperson, a search of the plane turned up no bombs.

A passenger said they were informed of a "threatening note" in the aircraft's bathroom, and kept for roughly four hours at the airport.

From passenger accounts, every single passenger on the plane was interviewed, and the CCTV checked. One of the passengers said that, despite all of this, they saw no arrests in connection with this incident.

A spokeswoman for Jet2 said they were sorry about any inconvenience the evacuation caused, but consider people's safety on-board the most important thing.
