A flight arriving at Washington’s Reagan National Airport sparked a major security response on Tuesday after authorities received a bomb threat, forcing a full ground stop and the evacuation of a United Airlines aircraft.
United had no comment, instead referring questions to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The disrupted aircraft was a United flight (UA512) arriving from Houston (IAH). Air traffic control audio referenced an “unconfirmed bomb report” tied to that plane, which was repositioned to a remote area of the airfield. Nearby, emergency-response crews surrounded the aircraft while ground service bused passengers back to the terminal.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
