Texas Flight Grounded for Bomb Threat
Posted on: Saturday, 6 August 2005, 12:00 CDT
An airplane at Hobby Airport in Houston was evacuated on the tarmac and searched after a flight attendant was handed a threatening note.
CNN reports that the Southwest Airlines flight Friday was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs and all of the luggage was rechecked after a passenger found the bomb threat and gave it to the flight attendant.
An airline spokeswoman called the incident a non-event and the plane was able to continue its flight.
The plane was carrying 136 passengers and five crew members from Dallas to Houston en route to Corpus Christi, Texas.
