One of the world's most promising young wrestling prospects had a flight from hell after a false bomb hoax forced his plane to be grounded in Iceland.
Prodigy Nick Wayne, 16, was flying back to Seattle from Frankfurt on Condor flight DE2032 when sinister messaging reading 'bomb' was discovered in the toilet of the aircraft.
According to Airlive, there were 266 people on the flight which was immediately diverted to Keflavik, Iceland into an area guarded by police.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio Tuesday, pundit Bryan Alvarez said the incident was dealt with speedily.
He said: "Somebody apparently went into the bathroom and wrote either 'bomb' or 'explosion' on the mirror in the bathroom.
"They turned around, they landed in Iceland, they took everybody off the plane, they herded them into some secure area.”
Wayne confirmed on Tuesday afternoon on social media that he is now home.
“Made it back to Seattle. I appreciate all of you for everything,” he wrote.

Speaking after the incident, Wayne's mother Shayna Edwards said: "After such a wonderful weekend, and such an exciting one for Nick at being on one of his dream promotions, we were then really shaken up with what happened on the plane.
"It was so unreal, and we are just so grateful that everyone is safe.
“We had a very scary six hours until the authorities were able to find out what was really happening, and then it was a long wait to finally board a plane back home.
“We really want to say such a big thank you to all our friends for your kind thoughts and concerns for us."
