In 2008 an anonymous caller using a cell phone called 911 and threatened to blow up a Bon Jovi concert at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. The caller was never found and all that's know about the perpetrator is that the phone used was one of those cell phones that only have 911 calling capabilities. Police delayed the concert while bomb sniffing dogs confirmed that the threat was a hoax.
In the video below Jon Bon Jovi thanks fans who suck around long enough to know that they wouldn't get blown up for liking Bon Jovi.
