Five crew members and 136 passengers aboard a Frontier Airlines flight traveling from Knoxville, Tenn. to Denver were evacuated from the plane onto a remote area of the tarmac at Denver International Airport following the possible security threat Friday evening.

Nick Dannenberg, who was traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 601 told “Good Morning America” he was seated near the man who reportedly told the flight attendant he had brought a bomb on board.

“The guy across the aisle from me pulled the flight attendant to the side and told her that he had a bomb in his backpack,” Dannenberg said. “I can’t even describe how fast my heart was beating.”

The flight crew took the man’s backpack to the back of the plane when they became aware of the potential safety risk, as passengers kept an eye on the passenger until the flight landed safely in Denver.
