Everyone is ok after a flight to New York City was diverted to Pittsburgh International Airport over a reported threat Saturday.
The FBI has confirmed that a United Airlines plane that took off from Chicago was directed to land roughly mid-way to LaGuardia so the passengers and crew could be evacuated. An explosives team with the Allegheny County Police Department swept the plane and passengers’ belongings and luggage, finding nothing suspicious. Travelers were booked onto alternate flights.
There is no word on any arrests or criminal charges at this time.
