A Tokyo-bound All Nippon Airways flight out of Los Angeles after four hours into its journey Tuesday because an unauthorized passenger was on board.

鈥淢uch like your father used to say to you, 鈥楬ey, if you guys don鈥檛 quiet down back there I鈥檓 going to turn this car around,鈥 成人X站 Radio鈥檚 John Curley said on the Tom and Curley Show.

The passenger turned out to be the brother of another, authorized passenger, the Los Angeles Times . One brother had an ANA boarding pass. The other had a United Airlines ticket. Both were traveling to Tokyo. Somehow, the man with the United Airlines ticket boarded the ANA flight without any initial problems.

鈥淭his is almost inexplicable,鈥 成人X站 Radio鈥檚 Mike Lewis said. 鈥淓veryone on board, including a couple of famous people, were pretty unhappy about essentially spending 8 hours flying and ending up in the same place.鈥

The famous people on the flight were model Chrissy Teigen and her husband, John Legend. Teigen took it upon herself to live tweet the entire nightmarish situation.

Once the plane returned to Los Angeles, the brothers were interviewed by the FBI. Law enforcement sources that the FBI was considering bringing charges against the brothers, but no arrests had been made.

鈥淭here was no actual evidence that this was a terrorist threat, that anybody else on the flight was at risk. This was a procedural mistake,鈥 Lewis said.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the unauthorized passenger went through TSA security as required. Airline employees just didn’t catch that he had the wrong boarding pass at the gate.

Many speculated why the passenger couldn’t have been questioned once the plane arrived in Tokyo.

鈥淓ither way if something bad is going to happen, it could happen going either direction,” Lewis said. 鈥淲hy not just continue ahead, have security meet you, and sort it out at the other end?鈥

ANA apologized to its customers on Wednesday. And in the end, Teigen and companyto Japan. She even had an answer to those asking why she and John were even flying commercial in the first place:
