Flight diverted after report of suspicious material
CNN
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- A report of suspicious material aboard a United
Airlines flight from New York to San Francisco led authorities to divert it and
make an unscheduled stop in Chicago, police said Tuesday.
United Flight 27 landed at 10:49 a.m. (11:49 a.m. ET) at Chicago's O'Hare
International Airport and was taken to a remote area. A bomb and arson squad,
including a canine team, inspected the Boeing 757-200 and found nothing out of
the ordinary, officials said.
Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications said all passengers
were safely evacuated and no injuries reported.
A spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration said two passengers
reported that another one appeared suspicious. The man was carrying two vials of
medicine, an MP3 player and wires for his laptop computer, the spokesman said.
