Thousands of people were left “completely scared” after a woman posted a photo of a suitcase next to a table at the airport.
The small black hard-shell case had been abandoned for a moment by its owner.
But the independent suitcase wasn’t the only “scary” thing about the bag.
It also had a small red ribbon. And it looked like the suitcase bomb from the new Netflix drama ‘Carry-On’.
The moment of the solitary luggage only increased the hysteria.
The film is set on Christmas Eve and was released on December 13.
The luggage was photographed on December 18 and many agreed that it felt “too real.”
In the film, a young airline security guard is blackmailed by a mysterious passenger who threatens to smuggle a dangerous package onto a plane.

The woman’s post that said: ‘At the airport and I see this. I can’t make this up. If you know it, you know it.’
It had attracted 7,000 likes and 1,600 comments at the time of writing.
“I saw this movie three days ago and I’m definitely going out,” one woman said.
“I saw this last night, passed by and immediately went back up due to PTSD,” another added.
“You see something, say something, or post something… if you’re reading this, it’s too late for those at the airport,” another added.
But some were less afraid.
“We all quietly learned how to take it apart,” said another.
And others did not accept any of that.
“People use tape all the time to distinguish their luggage from the rest, be honest,” said one woman.

“Someone did this on purpose to scare people,” said another.
The rest were confused.
“Can anyone explain this?” one asked.
“I have no idea what movie this is,” said another.
‘Why is this exploding? I don’t understand,’ shouted a third.
The film, starring Taron Egerton, has an 86 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Some describe it as the new “lethal weapon,” a dark alternative Christmas movie.
