Man Tweets About Blowing Up Airport, Gains Tons of Twitter Fans

Summary~~This article was about a man named Paul Chambers threatens to bomb his local airport Robin Hood airport. Paul got angry when the airport was closed and his flight had been delayed. So he decides to tweet about this. He wrote " Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your s**t together , otherwise im blowing the airport sky high! " Paul said this was a joke but now he has a fine of $1,600 and in additional $3,200 legal fines. By doing this Paul Chambers also lost his job as a financial manager.

Reaction~~ I wouldve never tweeted about bombing an airport or anything because things always have consequences. Its not like they wouldve never found out about this threat if many others were retweeting his tweet and he was gaining more then 1000 followers.
